ABSTRACT
In the hedonist world the identification of the innate of the ultimate limit with that idea from which dissent is unthinkable converts it into something which cannot be altered through choice and will. The hedonist is intimidated by the heterogeneity of ways which shows the inexorable presence of dissent within the species of speeches and thus, his denial is controlled by and takes its bearings from the diverse practices of the multitude. Because the hedonist recognizes that his denial of the innateness of this idea would lead to cynicism, the denial of innate ideas is really the assertion of the innateness of the idea of the free mind. The chapter explores how the hedonist conception of difference generates the need for an exegetical standard of re-unity personified in the figure of the common man. Locke formulates man as an observer who relates to the contents of his mind descriptively.
