Episode Synopsis

🧠 John Locke: Experience • Liberty • Toleration   Born a physician-philosopher, Locke championed empiricism — the idea that knowledge begins with experience, not dogma. His tabula rasa shaped modern psychology, while his Two Treatises of Government defined rights, consent, and freedom that echo through modern democracies.   For clinicians, his legacy reminds us to: 🔹 Trust observation and evidence over authority 🔹 Respect patient autonomy and informed consent 🔹 Foster pluralism and toleration in care   His vision of reason and tolerance remains medicine's quiet ally. 🕊️📜💬 Observation. Reflection. Compassion.
