” Btw, where does Locke fit in? This guy also claimed that Locke was the father of liberalism and progressivism...”
Liberals will even claim that the intellectual source of liberalism is the entire body of post-Renaissance thought!
This is because modern liberalism is in fact the contemporary heir of the main lines of post-Renaissance thought and by right considers itself most distinctively modern, and most influential in shaping the post-Renaissance world. But even though the liberal can reach back to a page or two of Locke that might bolster their claim, the conservative can present a contrary file from such as Locke, Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill and others far stronger; for the liberal, in reality holds title to these intellectual giants work only by adverse posession, due to the liberals present control of the intellectual records office.
Edmund Burke is also the correct answer.
