John Locke and Classical Liberalism

John Locke is widely regarded as the father of classical liberalism. This essay was groundbreaking in its approach to the foundation of human knowledge and understanding. He describes the mind at birth as a blank slate filled later through experience.

The essay became a principal source of empiricism in modern philosophy and influenced many enlightenment philosophers.
