摘要

Although excluded from the standard account of the history of philosophy, Catharine Trotter Cockbum （1679-1749）avoided the 17th-century bias against female intellectual skills and was an active contributor to the early modemphilosophical discourse. In her Defence of Mr Locke＇s Essay （1702）, she defended Locke from several criticisms byThomas Burnet （1635-1715）. By analysing three of Bumet＇s main arguments, such as the theory of naturalconscience, his anti-voluntarism, and his belief in the immateriality of the soul, Trotter showed that he oftenmisinterpreted John Locke＇s principles, especially those concerning his moral epistemology.
