John Locke --- "This program chronicles the life and work of John Locke, the 17th-century English philosopher and political theorist considered by many to be the first notable thinker of the Enlightenment. Without a doubt, Locke's legacy is vast: his articulation of empiricism laid the intellectual groundwork for an explosion of scientific activity that continues to this day, and his political philosophy is widely seen as the genesis of modern liberalism-an inspiration behind the American and French Revolutions and the philosophical foundation for the development of democracy in the west. Truly, John Locke is one of the principle architects of the modern world. Excerpts from Locke's "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, Two Treatises of Government, and Letter Concerning Toleration are included." (21 minutes, color) --Cover Chronicles the life and work of John Locke, the 17th century English philosopher and political theorist.
