Description
Book SynopsisA reflection on the work of John Locke. The text explores the complexity of the Locke's engagement with his philosophical and theological predecessors, his effect on later liberal thinkers, and his success in transforming the political understanding of the Anglo-American world.
Trade ReviewThis collection is not only a set of important essays on Locke, but also a major contribution to our understanding of how Locke's thought informs American political thought, both at the founding and as a critical voice in key contemporary debates in political theory. This now constitutes the most learned and philosophically profound presentation of Lockean thought that has appeared in the past generation. THOMAS L. PANGLE, AUTHOR OF THE SPIRIT OF MODERN REPUBLICANISM: THE MORAL VISION OF THE AMERICAN FOUNDERS AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF LOCKE
