About John Locke
John Locke (1632-1704) was an English philosopher known as the 'Father of Liberalism.' He greatly influenced Western philosophy and political theory with his ideas on individual rights, government by consent, and the social contract. Locke's works include 'Two Treatises of Government' where he argued that people have natural rights to life, liberty, and property. He also made significant contributions to epistemology with his theory that knowledge is derived from experience.
