John Locke – Book 2, Chapter 11 Excerpt 12. Idiots and madmen. How far idiots are concerned in the want or weakness of any, or all of the foregoing faculties, an exact observation of their several ways of faultering would no doubt discover. For those who either perceive but dully, or retain the ideas that come into their minds but ill, who cannot readily excite or compound them, will have little matter to think on. Those who cannot distinguish, compare, and abstract, would hardly be able to understand and make use of language, or judge or reason to any tolerable degree; but only a little and imperfectly about things present, and very familiar to their senses. And indeed any of the forementioned faculties, if wanting, or out of order, produce suitable defects in men's understandings and knowledge.
Stacey Clifford’s LOCKE, EQUALITY AND COGNITIVE DISABILITY What are the differences, for Locke, between changelingsand idiots? Unfortunately, I find it nearly impossible to know for certain what in fact distinguished these groups. But we know that they shared a common defect of the mind that renderedthem both incapable of abstraction, language and personal identity. Retracing Locke’smyriad uses of idiots–to disprove innate ideas, to elucidatekey human faculties, and to draw the bounds of human membership–we might say that idiots are changelings: while they never fully materialize in Lock’s text, their shape constantly shifts change dependent on the task at hand. Indeed, because they never fully emerge enables their shape-shifting status. Hence, although Locke relegatesidiots to the periphery of moral existence, their function is central to Locke’s enterprise.
