About the Author
John Locke (1632-1704) was an English philosopher and physician whose groundbreaking ideas laid the foundations of modern empiricism, political liberalism, and the Enlightenment. Born in Wrington, Somerset, he studied at Oxford and later served as a physician and advisor to prominent figures, including the Earl of Shaftesbury. Locke's writings profoundly influenced the American and French Revolutions, advocating for natural rights, government by consent, and religious tolerance. Despite facing persecution for his views, he spent years in exile in the Netherlands before returning to England. His legacy endures in democratic principles and individual liberties, making him one of the most influential thinkers in Western philosophy.
