Review
`There is no work in print that is comparable in terms of its approach to the text, accessibility to beginners, and its concentration exclusively on Locke's moral and political philosophy.' - A. John Simmons, University of Virginia
From the Back Cover
John Locke is one of the most important figures in the history of political thought. His Second Treatise on Government was one of the most significant political statements of its time and provides the foundations of liberal political thought. His views on the social contract, political obligation, rebellion, revolution and property remain strikingly relevant today.
Locke on Government introduces and assesses:
* Locke's life and the background to the Second Treatise on Government
*The text and ideas of the Second Treatise
*The continuing importance of Locke's work to philosophy
For student's coming to Locke for the first time, Locke on Government will be an invaluable guide to his political thought.
