What did he do?

He was a British empirical philosopher/physician of the Enlightenment era.

Some key points - AKA father of liberalism, political thought, his ideas contributed to our very own Declaration and so on.

In my class we discussed his concepts of the self and identity. You might also be familiar with his "blank slate" or "tabula rasa" theory stating that we are all born the same and that what we know is derived from the experiences of life (like the nature vs nurture kind of thing, in which this is nurture).

He contributed greatly to the world and the concepts he created are factors that helped create our free democratic government today. His theories property, value, religion, money and more have inspired many famous philosophers like Voltaire, Rousseau, Hume, Kant and more.

So if you are doing homework about this guy, please have the courtesy to at least attempt to put his name in a question/sentence that is grammatically correct. Just some respect.
