"To understand political power right, and derive it from the original, we must consider what state all men are naturally in, that is, a state of perfect freedom to order their actions and dispose of their possessions and persons, as they think fit, within the bounds of law and nature, without asking leave, or depending upon the will of any other man."
―John Locke in Two Treatises of Government, 1689.[src]

John Locke (1632 – 1704) was an English philosopher and physician who is regarded as the "Father of Liberalism". He wrote several notable political works, such as Two Treatises of Government.[1]

During the early 18th century, one of Locke's philosophical writings was recovered by the pirate Alonzo Batilla.[1]

The Templars drew inspiration from his works on rationalism for their vision of their New World Order.
