Locke's Positions And Claims : His Political Theories And Ancient Greek Predecessor Plato: The State Of War
Overview
John Locke is the intellectual father of two revolutions: the Whig revolt against the absolute monarchy in 17th century England and almost 100 years later, the revolt of the American colonies against British rule, culminating in the founding of the United States of America. Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, George Mason, and James Madison all ranked John Locke as one of the most influential thinkers they consulted during the American Revolution and the formation of the liberal constitutional state that emerged from it. The primary vehicle of this influence was John Locke's Second Treatise of Government.
The book is designed for beginning and intermediate philosophy students who would like more depth than they would ordinarily get from books that only give outlines of the philosopher's thoughts and theories. At the same time, the book does not delve so deeply and critically into the philosopher's ideas that they would only be accessible to graduate students and professors.
