John Locke

Forfatterbiografi

John Locke (1632–1704) var en engelsk filosof og læge, og en af oplysningstidens mest indflydelsesrige tænkere. Han er særlig kendt for sine bidrag til empirisme og politisk liberalisme, hvor han argumenterer for, at legitim regering bygger på borgernes samtykke og på beskyttelsen af naturlige rettigheder. Locks politiske filosofi forbindes ofte især med Two Treatises of Government, som behandler spørgsmålet om magtens grundlag og statens formål. Locks forfatterskab spænder bredt over erkendelsesteori og religion; blandt hans centrale værker regnes Essay Concerning Human Understanding og Two Treatises of Government, der har haft stor betydning for eftertidens tænkning. Hans rolle som universitetsuddannet akademiker og hans arbejde inden for naturvidenskabeligt og medicinsk præget forskning understøtter, at han både skrev som filosof og som praktisk videnssøgende. I litteraturhistorisk perspektiv er Locke blevet stående som en grundlæggende stemme for modernitetens idéer om rettigheder, begrænset statsmagt og offentlig debat, og hans tanker har haft varig indflydelse på både politisk teori og retstænkning.
