Samuel Clarke was one of the leading figures of 18th-century Britain, considered in his day to be of comparable stature to John Locke. In traditional terms, if Locke is the chief Empiricist of British philosophy, Clarke is the main representative of its Rationalist wing. After an education at Cambridge, where be became a friend and disciple of Isaac Newton, Clarke took holy orders and quickly established a great reputation as a preacher. In his sermons he sought to reconstruct religion and ethics on the basis of Newtonian science and the power of human reason. Clarke was chosen to deliver two series of Boyle Lectures from the pulpit of St. Paul's Cathedral in 1704 and 1705. Later, while serving as a chaplain to Queen Anne, he engaged in a very extensive and important correspondence with Leibniz. Clarke spent the last 20 years of his life as Rector of the fashionable St. James's Church in Picadilly, from where he made highly influential contributions to various key theological debates of the time.
