John Locke
This program
chronicles the life and work of John Locke, the 17th-century English
philosopher and political theorist considered by many to be the first
notable thinker of the Enlightenment. Without a doubt, Locke’s legacy is
vast: his articulation of empiricism laid the intellectual groundwork for an
explosion of scientific activity that continues to this day, and his
political philosophy is widely seen as the genesis of modern liberalism—an
inspiration behind the American and French Revolutions and the philosophical
foundation for the development of democracy in the West. Truly, John Locke
is one of the principal architects of the modern world. Excerpts from
Locke’s An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, Two Treatises of
Government, and Letter Concerning Toleration are included. (21
minutes) The DVD version can be viewed using a DVD player or computer
DVD-ROM drive.
