Edition DescriptionNew Edition
SynopsisA highly influential figure in the Age of Enlightenment in England and France, whose works helped inspire the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, John Locke was one of the most important political theorists in Western history. In The Second Treatise of Government , a major contribution to the principles underlying modern democracies, he achieved two objectives: refuting the concept of the divine right of monarchy, and establishing a theory of government based on the ultimate sovereignty of the people. In A Letter Concerning Toleration , composed as early as 1667 but not published for political reasons until 1689 -- after the "Glorious Revolution" -- Locke pleaded for religious tolerance on grounds similar to his argument for political freedom, i.e., that all men are by nature "free, equal, and independent," and are entitled to freedom of thought, freedom of speech, and freedom of worship. To help guarantee the latter freedom, Locke called for separation of church and state. The basis of social and political philosophy for generations, these works laid the foundation of the modern democratic state in England and abroad. Their enduring importance makes them essential reading for students of philosophy, history, and political science., The first of these two highly influential documents refutes the concept of monarchy's divine right. The second argues for a broad acceptance of alternative religious convictions., The first of these two highly influential documents refutes the concept of monarchy's divine right.

Second Treatise of Government by John Locke
Any person seeking to understand the foundations of our nation's Representational Republic and the source of our Constitution and our Liberty needs to read this remarkable historic document. I would further recommend Mark Levin's Ameritopia I order to obtain a contrasting analysis of governing systems beginning with Plato's Repulic and progressing through Moore's Utopia, Hobbes' Leviathan, and Marx's Communist Manifesto and outlining the development of the American represential republican Democracy. In this election year defined by the sharp contrast between Republican/Conservative and Democrat/ Socialists it is important for all Americans to fully grasp the implications of the government systems aspoused by the Presidential candidates, and our future Liberty and Freedom.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
