John Locke

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In the turbulent seventeenth century, amidst civil wars, revolutions, and religious disputes, John Locke became one of the minds that best understood - and best discussed - the price of authority and the value of liberty. This book traces his life and work from within: his formation, his medical-scientific turn, his proximity to power, exile, and the writing that established him as the father of modern empiricism and liberal thought. This ninth instalment also explores his grey areas: the limits of his tolerance, the centrality of property, and the uncomfortable part of colonialism. The result is a complete portrait of a thinker we continue to use to think about the present, precisely because his lights and shadows still challenge us.
