Why doesn't /lit/ talk about him?

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 20 19:46:42 2019 No.13675148 He was England's Aristotle. In other words, he was a radical centrist who supported moderation, conformism, and naive realism.

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 20 19:50:43 2019 No.13675166 I made an effort post (partially) about Locke and it literally got 0 replies and archived while i was asleep. No one cares about him.

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 20 20:53:52 2019 No.13675467 >>13675196 Nah, not really. Locke's liberalism is pretty milquetoast. Plus, he grounded his arguments in a natural theology, so i don't see how his views would lead to nihilism.

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 20 22:14:28 2019 No.13675846 >>13675130 /lit/ does not tread territory with no uncoverable hot takes

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 20 22:45:14 2019 No.13676001 >>13675130 Never read him, but I judge by his face that he’s a sententious centrist with nothing really to contribute.
