John Locke

/dʒɒn lɒk/proper noun
ELI5 mode

John Locke refers to the 17th-century English philosopher and physician who is often called the 'Father of Liberalism' for his groundbreaking ideas on government, human rights, and knowledge. He emphasized empiricism, arguing that the mind starts as a blank slate shaped by experience, which influenced modern psychology and education; today, his concepts underpin democratic principles like the social contract in political discourse.
