    El objetivo del presente trabajo es, por un lado, reivindicar la importancia e influencia del enfoque de Locke para la discusión sobre los géneros naturales y, por otro, mostrar cómo su visión y aportaciones en torno al sistema de clasificación natural resultan de gran utilidad para entender en profundidad la compleja geografía del debate contemporáneo sobre estos géneros. En particular, ofrecemos una interpretación según la cual las concepciones de género natural se comprenden como críticas realistas a la posición que sostiene Locke y mostramos cómo una importante tensión que aflora en la propuesta de Locke reaparece en el actual debate sobre los géneros naturales.

    The main objective in this paper is to defend the influence of Locke’s perspective in the discussion of natural kinds. The aim is to arrive at an in-depth understanding of the current debate of natural kinds using Locke’s view on natural classification system. I believe this brief incursion into Locke’s perspective and examination of his contributions to the debate will serve as a useful tool for gaining a better understanding of the geography of the contemporary debate concerning natural kinds. Also, it should be noted that Locke’s contributions to the contemporary philosophical discussion are crucial to gain a clear understanding of ideas that are very much current today.
