John Locke was a leading Enlightenment philosopher who argued that human knowledge comes from sensory experience and that the mind is a "tabula rasa" (blank slate) shaped by experience, laying foundations for empiricism and modern theories of learning. In political theory he developed the ideas of natural rights (life, liberty, and property), government by consent under a social contract, the right to resist rulers who violate those rights, and religious toleration—ideas that strongly influenced liberal democracy and the U.S. Declaration of Independence.
