FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE. Although begun as early as 1671, Locke's masterpiece of empirical philosophy was finally brought to completion during his years of exile in Holland (January 1684-February 1688) where he was attended by a distinguished literary circle. Few philosophical works have received such immediate and lasting recognition; it was the bedrock for enlightenment thinkers leading John Stuart Mill to describe Locke as 'the unquestioned founder of the analytic philosophy of mind'.
