@ TELEGRAM: “TO LOVE TRUTH FOR TRUTH'S SAKE IS THE PRINCIPAL PART OF HUMAN PERFECTION IN THIS WORLD, AND THE SEED-PLOT OF ALL OTHER VIRTUES.“ JOHN LOCKE JOHN LOCKE WAS AN ENGLISH PHILOSOPHER AND PHYSICIAN, WIDELY REGARDED AS ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL OF ENLIGHTENMENT THINKERS AND COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE “FATHER OF LIBERALISM“. HIS WORK GREATLY AFFECTED THE DEVELOPMENT OF EPISTEMOLOGY AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY. HIS WRITINGS INFLUENCED VOLTAIRE AND JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU, AND MANY SCOTTISH ENLIGHTENMENT THINKERS, AS WELL AS THE AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARIES. HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO CLASSICAL REPUBLICANISM AND LIBERAL THEORY ARE REFLECTED IN THE UNITED STATES DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. INTERNATIONALLY, LOCKE’S POLITICAL-LEGAL PRINCIPLES CONTINUE TO HAVE A PROFOUND INFLUENCE ON THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF LIMITED REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT AND THE PROTECTION OF BASIC RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS UNDER THE RULE OF LAW. LOCKE'S THEORY OF MIND IS OFTEN CITED AS THE ORIGIN OF MODERN CONCEPTIONS OF IDENTITY AND THE SELF, FIGURING PROMINENTLY IN THE WORK OF LATER PHILOSOPHERS SUCH AS JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU, DAVID HUME, AND IMMANUEL KANT. LOCKE WAS THE FIRST TO DEFINE THE SELF THROUGH A CONTINUITY OF CONSCIOUSNESS. HE POSTULATED THAT, AT BIRTH, THE MIND WAS A BLANK SLATE, OR TABULA RASA. CONTRARY TO CARTESIAN PHILOSOPHY BASED ON PRE-EXISTING CONCEPTS, HE MAINTAINED THAT WE ARE BORN WITHOUT INNATE IDEAS, AND THAT KNOWLEDGE IS INSTEAD DETERMINED ONLY BY EXPERIENCE DERIVED FROM SENSE PERCEPTION, A CONCEPT NOW KNOWN AS EMPIRICISM.
