 :The entire article needs massive revision; it is a disgrace. On my long list of things to do. As you can tell from the talk page, Locke's most important work, Essay Concerning Human Understanding, gets almost no mention on this page. I'm not quite sure what you mean by his influence on Adam Smith - do you mean on his Theory of Moral Sentiments or his Wealth of Nations? In many ways, Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments was a rejection of the Lockean society that was supposed to be based on contract and reason. Smith's society was based on sympathy. (This is simplistic, of course.) Smith was following in the footsteps of Shaftesbury, who had rebelled against Locke. I am less sure about Locke's influence on the Wealth of Nations.
