Cambridge University Press The Political Thought of John Locke An Historical Account of the Argument of the Two Treatises of Government
Book SynopsisThis study provides a comprehensive reinterpretation of the meaning of Locke's political thought. John Dunn restores Locke's ideas to their exact context, and so stresses the historical question of what Locke in the Two Treatises of Government was intending to claim. By adopting this approach, he reveals the predominantly theological character of all Locke's thinking about politics and provides a convincing analysis of the development of Locke's thought. In a polemical concluding section, John Dunn argues that liberal and Marxist interpretations of Locke's politics have failed to grasp his meaning. Locke emerges as not merely a contributor to the development of English constitutional thought, or as a reflector of socio-economic change in seventeenth-century England, but as essentially a Calvinist natural theologian.Trade Review'… a highly original and brilliantly argued study … Dunn's approach yields something entirely new in Locke scholarship: a full-length portrait of Locke's mind, shown in its evolution in all its stresses and inconsistencies. The result is a book equally outstanding in its learning and its intelligence.' The American Historical Review'… an outstanding book which should be read by every serious student of the history of philosophy for its historiographical good sense'.

Cambridge University Press Milton Political Writings Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought Paperback C February 21 1991
Book SynopsisFrancisco Vitoria was the earliest and arguably the most important of the Thomist political philosophers of the Counter-Reformation. Not only did he write important essays on civil and ecclesiastical power, but he became celebrated for his defence of the new world Indians against the imperialism of his own master, the King of Spain. Vitoria's political works are thus of great importance for an understanding both of the rise of modern absolutism, and the debate about the emergent imperialism of the European powers. His works are also unusually accessible, since they survive mainly in the form of 'relectiones', or summaries delivered at the end of his lecture courses on law and theology at the University of Salamanca. Translated here into English for the first time, these texts comprise the core of Vitoria's thought, and will be of interest to specialists in political theory and the history of ideas, ecclesiastical history, and the history of early modern Spain. A comprehensive introductTable of ContentsEditors' note; Abbreviations and sigla; Introduction; Principal events in Vitoria's life; Bibliographical note; Critical note on texts and translation; 1. On civil power; 2. On the power of the Church; 3. On the power of the Church; 4. On law: lectures on ST I-II 90-105; 5. On dietary laws, self-restraint (extract); 6. On the American Indians; 7. On the law of war; List of references; Biographical notes; Glossary-index.
