John Locke
John Locke (1632-1704) was a prominent English philosopher and physician, often regarded as the father of liberalism. His work on the theory of knowledge and the concept of the mind as a 'tabula rasa' greatly influenced modern philosophy and the development of psychology. Locke's ideas about the social contract and individual rights laid the groundwork for modern democratic thought and inspired the Enlightenment, making him a pivotal figure in Western intellectual history.
