In this opening part of Timeless Thinkers Episode 3, we explore the extraordinary life behind one of the Enlightenment’s most influential philosophers — John Locke.

Living through civil war, restoration, exile, and revolution, Locke witnessed the struggle between monarchy and liberty that would define modern political thought.

His experiences under Charles II and James II, his friendship with the Earl of Shaftesbury, and his exile in the Netherlands all shaped his conviction that legitimate government must rest on the consent of the governed and that power must always be limited by law and rights.

This episode sets the stage for Locke’s revolutionary ideas on natural rights, government by consent, and the foundation of modern democracy — ideas that would later inspire the American Declaration of Independence and the French Revolution.
