About this eBook
John Locke, often referred to as the "Father of Liberalism," was a pivotal figure in the development of modern political thought and empiricism. Born in 1632 in England, Locke's writings on natural rights, government, and human understanding laid the intellectual groundwork for democratic principles. This biography traces his early life, education, and the philosophical insights found in his seminal works, such as An Essay Concerning Human Understanding and Two Treatises of Government. Locke’s revolutionary ideas about individual liberty, property rights, and the social contract profoundly influenced the Enlightenment and shaped modern democracies. The book also examines his lesser-known contributions to education and economics, providing a holistic view of his intellectual legacy. Locke’s work remains a cornerstone of Western philosophy, emphasizing reason, freedom, and equality.
