John Locke
 
1632–1704, English philosopher, founder of British empiricism. Locke summed up the Enlightenment in his belief in the middle class and its right to freedom of conscience and right to property, in his faith in science, and in his confidence in the goodness of humanity. His influence upon philosophy and political theory has been incalculable.—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. Copyright © 2002 Columbia University Press.
