John Locke

I admire a john Locke because is very important for political science. John Locke was born on 29 August 1632, in a small thatched cottage by the church in Wrington, about twelve miles from Bristol in England. After that the family moved to the market town of Pensford, about seven miles south of Bristol, where Locke grew up in a rural Tudor house. The family is Puritans. Locke father, who was also named John Locke, was lawyer. In 1647, Locke was sent to the prestigious Westminster School in London under the sponsorship of Alexander Popham, a Member of Parliament. After completing his studies there, he was admitted to Christ Church, Oxford. Locke was awarded a bacher degree in 1656 and a master degree in 1658. He obtained a bacher of medicine in 1674, having studied medicine during his time at Oxford. The fame of Locke was greater like philosopher. Practically all the later thought was influenced by its empirics, until ending at the skepticism of Hume. He died in 28 October 1704, and is buried in the churchyard of the village of High Laver. Locke never married nor had children.
The import this author because exercised a profound influence on political philosophy, in particular on modern liberalism, where the father is considered.
Some work of this author:

(1660) First essay of Government
(1662) Second essay of Government
(1664) Questions Concerning the Law of Nature
(1667) Essay Concerning Toleration
(1706) Of the Conduct of the Understanding

For me John Locke is very important in professional formation because these ideas were the principal foundation of liberalism, he was a profound influence of the politic and philosophy to understand the actual reality and I think this author showed the reality since the natural states until the society and the concept of property.
