John Locke was an influential philosopher during the Realism movement. He believed that knowledge comes from our experiences, and that our understanding of the world is shaped by what we observe and learn through our senses. In other words, our knowledge is based on what we see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. Locke also argued that people have natural rights to life, liberty, and property, and that governments should be created to protect these rights. His ideas greatly influenced the development of modern democratic societies.
