		His father, the second earl, appears to have been weak both in mind and body, and young Anthony was placed in the formal guardianship of his grandfather, the (in)famous first Earl of Shaftesbury, at the age of three.

	Lord Shaftesbury [Anthony Ashley Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury]
		Shaftesbury would eventually come to disagree with many aspects of Locke's philosophy (such as the latter's empiricism, his social contract theory, and what Shaftesbury perceived to be his psychological and ethical egoism), but Locke was clearly a crucially important influence on Shaftesbury's philosophical development, and the two men remained friends until Locke's death.
		Shaftesbury wrote an unsigned preface to the sermons in which he praised Whichcote's belief in the goodness of human beings and urged his readers to use Whichcote's “good nature” as an antidote to the poisonous egoism of Hobbes.
		Shaftesbury repeatedly advances versions of the argument from Design for the existence of God, and his general teleological approach is deeply theistic (it could perhaps be said that his teleology and his religion were one and the same thing).

	Earl of Shaftesbury [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Shaftesbury has largely caught the spirit of Locke, but he by no means follows him, especially in his rejection of innate ideas.
		In spite of his insistence upon the harmony of virtue and self-interest, or of the self-regarding with the social affections, Shaftesbury is convinced that the good is not pleasure.
		Shaftesbury is aware that the question of the character of the virtuous act is not the same as that of the mental faculty which looks at it and appreciates it.
