'Man being born...to perfect freedom...hath by nature a power...to
preserve his property, that is, his life, liberty and estate.'
Locke's Second Treatise of Government (1689) is one of the great
classics of political philosophy, widely regarded as the
foundational text of modern liberalism. In it Locke insists on
majority rule, and regards no government as legitimate unless it
has the consent of the people. He sets aside people's ethnicities,
religions, and cultures and envisages political societies which
command our assent because they meet our elemental needs simply as
humans. His work helped to entrench ideas of a social contract,
human rights, and protection of property as the guiding principles
for just actions and just societies. Published in the same year, A
Letter Concerning Toleration aimed to end Christianity's wars of
religion and called for the separation of church and state so that
everyone could enjoy freedom of conscience. In this edition of
these two major works, Mark Goldie considers the contested nature
of Locke's reputation, which is often appropriated by opposing
political and religious ideologies. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100
years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range
of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to

much more.
