Summary/Abstract: In this paper we interpret and examine critically John Locke’s ideas on cognitive(intellectual) virtues and values presented in his The Conduct of the Understanding(1697). We believe that the cognitive subject’s virtues discussed by Locke are universal.We believe that knowledge and understanding must and can be guided by the pursuit oftruth. But this concerns only the motivation component of knowledge, and not its successwhich is ultimately determined by the epistemic environment.
