 John Locke
While the "major elections" were probably political, the "minor elections or "challenges" were among the most genuinely competitive admissions processes in English schools of the period.
Having set forth the general machinery of how simple and complex ideas of substances, modes, relations and so forth are derived from sensation and reflection Locke also explains how a variety of particular kinds of ideas, such as the ideas of solidity, number, space, time, power, identity, and moral relations arise from sensation and reflection.
Locke's concept of substance in general is also a ‘something I know not what.’ Thus, on Ayers' interpretation ‘substance in general’ means something like ’whatever it is that supports qualities’ while the real essence means ‘this particular atomic constitution that explains this set of observable qualities’.
