About this video

Runtime: 29 mins

John Perry discusses the thought and works of John Locke through the three questions that Locke endeavours to address: What should I believe? (Epistemology) What should I do? (Ethics) and How should we live together? (Politics). John Locke was an English philosopher who also wrote widely on education, economics, theology and medicine. He is best known for his Two Treatises of Government and Essay Concerning Human Understanding. His work is characterised by opposition to authoritarianism and an approach to the collection and classification of knowledge, which has come to be known as empiricism.
