John Locke (1632–1704) was an English philosopher, psychologist and political thinker. Speaking against the religious fanaticism of various sects, he persistently called for religious tolerance, devoting four letters to these issues (1689, 1690, 1692, ed. 1706). The Two Treatises on Government contains Locke’s sociopolitical conception. The first book is devoted to the refutation of the defender of the divine right of absolutist royal power R. Filmer, in the second (known as the “Second treatise on government”) developed the theory of constitutional parliamentary monarchy. Locke’s ideas played a huge role in the history of philosophy and socio-political thought of the European Enlightenment. They had a great influence in Great Britain on Toland, Priestley, Berkeley and Hume, in France - on Voltaire, Condillac and especially on the materialists of the XVIII century - Lamettrie, Helvetia and Diderot. Locke's political philosophy was developed by Montesquieu and reflected in the political theories of the French and American revolutions. John Locke is considered the first true liberal and the father of modern political philosophy. Without Locke’s ideas, it is impossible to understand the world we live in.
