The seventeenth century English philosopher, John Locke, is widely
recognized as one of the seminal sources of the modern liberal
tradition. Liberty, Toleration and Equality examines the
development of Locke's ideal of toleration, from its beginnings, to
the culmination of this development in Locke's fifteen year debate
with his great antagonist, the Anglican clergyman, Jonas Proast.
Locke, like Proast, was a sincere Christian, but unlike Proast,
Locke was able to develop, over time, a perspective on toleration
which allowed him to concede liberty to competing views which he,
personally, perceived to be "false and absurd". In this respect,
Locke sought to affirm what has since become the basic liberal
principle that liberty and toleration are most significant when
they are accorded to views to which we ourselves are profoundly at
odds. John William Tate seeks to show how Locke was able to develop
this position on toleration over a long intellectual career. Tate
also challenges some of the most prominent contemporary
perspectives on Locke, within the academic literature, showing how
these fall short of perceiving what is essential to Locke's
position.
