So-called "Father of Liberalism"

Ross

I believe the answer is:

locke

(Other definitions for locke that I've seen before include "John -, seventeenth to eighteenth century English philosopher" , "English empiricist philosopher, d. 1704" , "A philosopher; sounds like strand of hair" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
