Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) was arguably one of the most important
and interesting English theorists to focus on the issue of
political liberty during the English Enlightenment. His concept of
freedom is of crucial importance to two of the major issues of his
day: the right of dissenters to religious toleration, and the right
of the American colonists to self-government. Despite the
fundamental importance of both these themes in liberal political
theory and their contemporary relevance to national
self-determination, Priestley's writings lack a modern edition.
This new collection will be the first to make accessible to
students Priestleys' Essay on the First Principles and The Present
State of Liberty, which encapsulate his political ideology. An
introduction and notes, together with guides to further reading and
key figures in the text provide the student with all the material
necessary for approaching Priestley.
