Did hobbe and Locke know each other?

Thomas Hobbes and john Locke did not know each other personally, as Hobbes died in 1679, while Locke's significant writings emerged in the late 17th century, particularly after Hobbes's death. However, they were contemporaries in the sense that they lived during the same period and both contributed significantly to political philosophy. Their ideas often contrasted sharply, with Hobbes advocating for a strong, centralized authority and Locke championing individual rights and government by consent.
