Abstract
Kilka krótkich i nieukończonych tekstów, które John Lock napisał w latach 1666 – 1669 jest świadectwem jego zainteresowań medycyną i anatomią. Ich analiza ukazuje proces kształtowania się wczesnego etapu jego poglądów, zwłaszcza odejście od ortodoksji galenizmu i paracelsjanizmu i zwrot ku doświadczeniu. Fragmenty te przyciągają uwagę badaczy co najmniej z dwóch powodów. Po pierwsze, rzucają światło na związki empiryzmu Locke’a z klinicyzmem Sydenhama i z korpuskularyzmem Boyle’a. Po drugie, ukazują, że już w tym wczesnym okresie kształtowania się poglądów Locke’a, duży wpływ miała na niego myśl Francisa Bacona.
Several short and unfinished essays that John Locke wrote between the years 1666 – 1669 show his interests in medicine and anatomy. Their analysis reveals the process of shaping of his thought at its early stage, particularly the departure from galenic and paracelsian orthodoxy and his turn towards experience. There are at least two reasons why these fragments draw the attention of contemporary scholars. They cast some light on the relation between Locke’s empiricism and both Sydenham’s clinical approach to medicine and Boyle’s corpuscularianism. Moreover, they also show how in these formative years Locke’s philosophy was influenced by Francis Bacon’s thought.
