Neurosurgeons are familiar with the anatomic investigations of Thomas Willis, but his intellectual legacy actually extends into the arena of philosophy. John Locke was a student of Willis while at Oxford, and this essay explores how some of Willis's anatomic discoveries might have influenced the ideas Locke expressed in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding. It also includes historical information about 17th century England and the group of men (including Christopher Wren and Robert Boyle) who worked with Willis and founded the Oxford Experimental Philosophy Club, which became the Royal Society.
神经外科医生都熟知托马斯·威利斯的解剖学研究成果，但其学术遗产实际上还延伸至哲学领域。约翰·洛克在牛津求学时曾师从威利斯，本文将探究威利斯的一些解剖学发现可能如何影响了洛克在其《人类理解论》中所表达的观点。文中还包含了有关17世纪英国的历史信息，以及与威利斯共事并创立牛津实验哲学俱乐部（该俱乐部后来成为皇家学会）的一群人（包括克里斯托弗·雷恩和罗伯特·波义耳）的相关信息。
