John Locke / 约翰·洛克

John Locke appears in 26.牛顿与伪币制造者：可能是斯内普的原型？ as a friend and interlocutor of [[IsaacNewton|Isaac Newton / 牛顿]]. The episode first places Locke inside the scientific-philosophical network around Newton, [[ChristiaanHuygens|Christiaan Huygens]], and [[RobertBoyle|Robert Boyle]], then brings him into the English money crisis.

Locke’s main source role is monetary. He opposed lowering the silver content of coins because he saw money as both a traded object and a measuring standard. That makes him the source’s strongest counterweight to Newton’s willingness to rethink coin value during the Great Recoinage / 大重铸.
