JOHN LOCKE
"Father of Liberalism"
5. His philosophical thinking was close
to that of the founders of modern
science, especially Robert Boyle, Sir
Isaac Newton, and other members of
the Royal Society. His political thought
was grounded in the notion of a social
contract between citizens and in the
importance of toleration, especially in
matters of religion. Much of what he
advocated in the realm of politics was
accepted in England after the Glorious
Revolution of 1688–89 and in the
United States after the country’s
declaration of independence in 1776.
HOW DID LOCKE COME UP WITH
HIS VERY OWN PHILOSOPHY
WHAT TRIGGERS HIM TO COME
UP WITH THAT PHILOSOPHY
While studying medicine Locke met the Earl
of Shaftesbury, Lord Ashley, who offered him
to be his personal physician. During that
period Locke continued his medical training
under the tutelage of Thomas Sydenham,
who influenced Locke’s natural philosophical
thinking.
In 1670's Locke started to be exposed to
business and politics that influenced his
political philosophy. He started serving as
secretary at seviral boards that molds his
ideas about economics and international
trade.
6. SUMMARY OF
LOCKE'S WORKS
In politics, Locke is best known as a proponent of
limited government. He uses a theory of natural rights
to argue that governments have obligations to their
citizens, have only limited powers over their citizens,
and can ultimately be overthrown by citizens under
certain circumstances. He also provided powerful
arguments in favor of religious toleration.
7. Analysis and
Stance of the
Students
The American revolutionary
generation drew many of its
ideas from the English
philosopher John Locke
(1632–1704). Often credited
as a founder of modern
“liberal” thought, Locke
pioneered the ideas of natural
law, social contract, religious
toleration, and the right to
revolution that proved
essential to both the
American Revolution and the
U.S. Constitution that
followed.
The very reason why John Locke
became the father of liberalism
because of his political
philosophy that helped to
establish the the key principles
that is still affecting our modern
society today, as he uses the
theory of the divine right of kings
and argued that all people have
natural rights to life liberty and
property and that if their rulers
cannot protect those three rights
they can be removed from their
position with force if needed, and
a government would only be
considered legitimate if the
people it ruled consented to its
authority.

Democritus
9. AROUND 400 BC, DEMOCRITUS STATED THAT ALL MATTER WAS
FORMED OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF TINY DISCRETE. HE DISCOVERED
THIS THEORY, ATOMISM, BY DIVIDING A SEASHELL INTO ITS
SMALLEST COMPONENTS UNTIL IT BECOME INVISIBLE TO OUR NAKED
EYES.
HOW DEMOCRITUS COME UP

He is highly influence by pre-socratic philosophers that cqme before
him. Those who influence him are Permenides of Elea, Zeno of Elea,
Empedocles and Leucippus.
SUMMARY OF DEMOCRITUS WORKS
He was one of the first people to suggest that matter is made up of extremely small particles
called atoms. Democritus thought that atoms are solid, indestructible particles that are
separated by empty space. In addition, Democritus believed that atoms were uniform, solid,
hard, incompressible, and indestructible and that they moved in infinite numbers through
empty space until stopped. Differences in atomic shape and size determined the various
properties of matter. And he also said that cheerfulness is not only a reflection of inner
happiness. Maintaining a positive attitude can attarct positivity and happiness into our lives.

of the Students
Impact to the
Modern World
Our world today is full of disarray,
but with his theory about
cheerfulness, we are able to cope up
with the hardships that we
experienced. There is a rainbow after
the rain, they say. When it comes to
atomism, it serves as the basis of
atom discovery even though he
formulated this theory by his
observation and experiments. By his
proposed theory about atoms, we had
a starting point. a basis that we can
develop overtime.
Demoocritus believed that atoms consists of
solid, hard, incompressible, and indestructible
and that they moved in infinite numbers through
empty space until stopped. He argued that
matter was subdivided into indivisible and
immutable particles that created the
appearance of change when they joined and
separated from others and these atoms would
have different properties according to its
classification which made one of the biggest
contributions to science. Democritus was also
known as the '' laughing philosopher'' for his
belief about cheerfulness of life, he believed
laughter could lighten the burdens of life and
help us find joy even in difficult situations.
