    About this ebook

    Keen to learn but short on time? Get to grips with the philosophy of John Locke in next to no time with this concise guide.

    50Minutes.com provides a clear and engaging analysis of John Locke. Inspired by great philosophers such as Hobbes and Descartes, Locke sought to respond to the problems of his era through his philosophy. Outraged at the persecution of Protestants by the monarchy in England, he advocated religious tolerance, and believed that power should be in the hands of the people to guarantee their individual rights and freedoms, a principle which is the basis of all modern-day democracies.

    • Learn about the life, travels and works of the highly influential English philosopher, John Locke
    • Understand the principles of empiricism and economic liberalism
    • Discover Locke’s continued influence on modern democracies, including on the American Constitution and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen
