The '''[[John Locke]] Lectures''' are a series of annual lectures in [[philosophy]] given at the [[University of Oxford]]. They are one of the world's most prestigious academic lecture series, comparable to the [[Gifford Lectures]] given in [[Scotland|Scottish]] universities. They were established in [[1950]] by the bequest of a Henry Wilde.
The first lecture series was offered to [[Ludwig Wittgenstein]], who eventually declined. According to his biographers{{Fact|date=October 2007}}, he felt uncomfortable giving formal lectures where the audience would not be asking or answering questions.
==Lecturers==
The lectures began as an uncertain biannual series, with the first lecturer from 1950-1951, and missing the second slot from 1952-1953. Between 1969 and 2001, the lectures became gradually more frequent. Since 2001, the lecture notes have been made available electronically.
