Trace the enduring legacy of John Locke, the philosopher whose ideas helped shape the modern world and continue to influence our politics, our culture, and our understanding of ourselves. From the Enlightenment and the Age of Revolutions to the rise of liberalism and democracy, this video explores the ways in which Locke's thought has inspired generations of thinkers and leaders, from America's Founding Fathers to today's advocates for human rights and social justice. At the same time, we'll grapple with the criticisms and limitations of Locke's philosophy, from its Eurocentric assumptions to its blind spots on issues of race, gender, and empire.
