Two of Locke's most mature and influential political writings and
three brilliant interpretive essays combined in an outstanding
volume "The new standard edition of Locke for students of political
theory. Dunn, Grant, and Shapiro combine authoritative historical
scholarship and contemporary political theory to give us Locke for
our time."-Elisabeth H. Ellis, Texas A&M University Among the
most influential writings in the history of Western political
thought, John Locke's Two Treatises of Government and A Letter
Concerning Toleration remainvital to political debates today, more
than three centuries after they were written. The complete texts
appear in this volume, accompanied by interpretive essays by three
prominent Locke scholars. Ian Shapiro's introduction places Locke's
political writings in historical and biographical context. John
Dunn explores both the intellectual context in which Locke wrote
the Two Treatises of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration
andthe major interpretive controversies surrounding their meaning.
Ruth Grant offers a comprehensive discussion of Locke's views on
women and the family, and Shapiro contributes an essay on the
democratic elements of Locke's political theory. Taken together,
the texts and essays in this volume offer invaluable insights into
the history of ideas and the enduring influence of Locke's
political thought.
