John Locke was elected to a Studentship at Christ Church in 1652, after the civil wars; in 1684 he would be expelled in the wake of the Rye House Plot to assassinate Charles II and his brother James and he would spend some formative years in the Netherlands.
In this study afternoon our speakers will explore Locke's ideas and their connection to Christ Church, to Oxford, and to the wider European context of the early Enlightenment.
