This February 2025, several of us are participating in the 30-Day Philosophy Coach4aday Challenge. Each day, we choose a quote or concept from a philosopher, past or present, and share it with others. Participating in this activity is actually sharing wisdom with others. My philosopher choice today is named JOHN LOCKE.
John Locke was a foundational thinker of the Enlightenment, shaping modern political philosophy with his ideas on natural rights, government by consent, and individual liberty. His works especially Two Treatises definitely impacted the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution.
Locke was dogmatic about Religious Tolerance and Separation of Church and State – His work A Letter Concerning Toleration advocated for religious freedom and the separation of church and state, ideas that became fundamental to Western political thought.
Philosophy 30-Day Challenge Guidelines
Like previous challenges there are no hard and fast rules to participate. There are a few suggested guidelines
- Identify your choice of philosopher, and, if necessary, offer up a brief bio on that individual.
- If you need help here is a link to some famous philosophers
- Provide the quote or concept that is attributed to this philosopher.
- If sharing with others use the #Coach4adayChallenge
February 18th Philosopher–John Locke
He is the Father of Liberalism – Locke’s political philosophy, especially his ideas on natural rights (life, liberty, and property) and government by consent, heavily influenced modern democracy and the U.S. Constitution.
My source of quotes again comes from Goodreads
“There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.”
“The most precious of all possessions is power over ourselves.”
