This title introduces students to the life, work and ideas of one
of the most important thinkers of the Modern period. John Locke is
widely regarded as one of the foundational thinkers of modern
western society. His contributions to a huge range of philosophical
debates are as important and influential now as they were in the
seventeenth century. Covering all the key concepts of his work,
"Starting with Locke" provides an accessible introduction to the
ideas of this hugely significant thinker. Clearly structured
according to Locke's central ideas, this book leads the reader
through a thorough overview of the development of his thought.
Offering comprehensive coverage of the historical events and
philosophical issues at play during this period, this book explores
his understanding of faith and his contributions to political
philosophy in his theories of natural law, natural rights and the
right to rebellion. Crucially this book introduces the major
historical and philosophical events that proved influential in the
development of Locke's thought, including the violent social
conflicts of late seventeenth-century England to which his
political theory was primarily responding. "Continuum's Starting
with...series" offers clear, concise and accessible introductions
to the key thinkers in philosophy. These books explore and
illuminate the roots of each philosopher's work and ideas, leading
readers to a thorough understanding of the key influences and
philosophical foundations from which his or her thought developed.
Ideal for first-year students starting out in philosophy, these
series will serve as the ideal companion to study of this
fascinating subject.
