Meet the author
John Locke is widely regarded as the Father of Liberalism, whose revolutionary ideas on government and natural rights directly inspired the U.S. Declaration of Independence. An English physician and philosopher, his own experience living through political turmoil fueled his radical theories on liberty, property, and the consent of the governed. Locke's work championed the power of human reason and experience, laying the essential groundwork for the Enlightenment and modern Western democracy itself.
