How the Political, Social and Educational Influences During the Lives of Burke, Locke, Rawls, Nozick, Mill and Dewey were Reflected in their Later Works

Abstract: This is a 6 page paper on the historical context in the lives of Edmund Burke, John Locke, John Rawls, Robert Nozick, John Stuart Mill, and John Dewey. Edmund Burke, John Locke, John Rawls, Robert Nozick, John Stuart Mill, and John Dewey could all be said to have written highly influential works within their lifetimes but in addition, many of their later works were also reflective of the political, social and educational environments in which they were raised. In an examination of the lives of these men when they were all in their twenties it can be shown that the political climates in which Burke and Locke were raised, the social and political movements which occurred during the lifetimes of Rawls and Nozick and the educational environments of Mill and Dewey were all highly influential on their theories and later reflected in their writings.
