Also, he argued against historian C.B. Macpherson, that John Locke could not have been basing his writing on capitalism because it had not yet codified into an available language. (But would soon do so.) I studied with Pocock but disagreed with him about Macpherson.

In the 1970s & 1980s the historian J.G.A. Pocock introduced a concept he called "available languges," based on such ideas as Wittgenstein's "family resemblance," J.L.
