第105页 第六章：论亚当因为父亲的身份而享有主权

这一段关于在洛克眼中“理性”的意义和地位，同时贬低了“想象”和“激情”的价值：
58. 理性把一个人提高到几乎与天使相等的地位，但是如果他抛弃了理性，他那纷乱的心灵就会使他堕落到比野兽还要残暴的地步。人类的思想比沙粒还多，比大海还要宽阔，如果没有理性这个指示方向的唯一的星辰和罗盘在航行中为他导航，幻想和激情一定会把他引入各种歧途。
原文：
Thus far can the busie mind of Man carry him to a Brutality below the level of Beasts, when he quits his reason, which places him almost equal to Angels. Nor can it be otherwise in a Creature, whose thoughts are more than the Sands, and wider than the Ocean, where fancy and passion must needs run him into strange courses, if reason, which is his only Star and compass, be not that he steers by.
