	Lord Shaftesbury [Anthony Ashley Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury] (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		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 egoism), but Locke was clearly a crucially important influence on Shaftesbury's philosophical development, and the two 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 and the pessimistic supralapsarianism of the Calvinists.
		Shaftesbury based his belief in the existence of God on the argument for design (although at one point, C 306, he suggests that it is possible to give an a priori argument for the existence of God as well).

	Lord Shaftesbury [Anthony Ashley Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury]
		Shaftesbury's view of aesthetic judgment was both sentimentalist and objectivist, in that he thought that correct moral judgment was based in human sentiments that reflected accurately the harmonious cosmic order (section 7).
		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 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.
		Shaftesbury's great objection to the theological ethics of Locke and of popular opinion is that it destroys the reality and disinterestedness of virtue.
		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.

	The Young Enthusiast
		This article by Rebecca Tierney-Hynes argues that Shaftesbury, despite his overt dismissal of romance and the novel, makes use of these forms in his anatomy of social benevolence.
		Tierney-Hynes notes that the internal dialogue that Shaftesbury asks his readers to perform is modeled on the kind of deep psychological dialogue that often took place in the early novel, only instead of happening internally this dialogue happened between lovers.
		Tierney-Hynes also gives some attention to the traditional metaphor of the artist as mother and the work as offspring (as well as some related metaphors, such as the aborted literary work as the aborted fetus), speculating about how gender complicates notions of authorship, particularly Shaftesbury’s staunchly neo-classical, anti-feminist notion of authorship.
