His contributions to philosophy include the theory of knowledge known as empiricism, which addressed the limits of what we can understand about the nature of reality. Locke held that our understanding of reality ultimately derives from what we have experienced through the senses.
I think you're onto something Son of Jarel. Did anyone think, in last night’s episode, that the chief ‘rescuer’ who then abducted Walt looked like an old fashioned pirate? And Locke said he's “a man of faith” and not science like Jack! Like 16th or 17th century? My guess is that they’re in some kind of a time warp and getting a chance to change their futures. Locke gave a very strange look towards the mad French woman, as if he knew her, so there must be a connection there. The fat guy (what's his name) is maybe the most interesting character and the mad French woman the least credible - IMHO.
