2 According to the University of Oxford (2016), there was no Oxford School, and philosophy did not reach the pre-eminence that it enjoyed on the Continent until well after the appointment of John White to the chair of moral philosophy in 1621, and John Locke, having left Oxford, wrote An Essay Concerning Human Understanding and Two Treatises of Government (both published in 1690).
