John Locke and Natural Law
Our second philosophy tea discusses the groundbreaking ideas of the philosopher John Locke (1632-1704) on natural law in his Two Treatises of Government (1689) and the impact they had on the formulation of human rights in the American Declaration of Independence (1776), the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen (1789) and the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948). Locke’s ideas continue to inform debates on human rights and how they can be applied in the world today
This episode was recorded and edited at Reginateatern, which also served as the host venue for the event on 30 January 2020.
Producer: Paul Kessel
The Philosophy Tea talks were held regularly at the Regina Theatre in Uppsala from 2014 to 2021.

In all, 40 sessions were held, of which 31 are recorded. The session were also supported by Uppsala University as part of its outreach activities.
