Recovers a sense of John Locke's central role in the making of the
modern world. It demonstrates that his vision of modern life was
constructed on a philosophy of human freedom that is the
intellectual nerve connecting the various strands of his thought.
By revealing the depth and originality of Locke's critique of the
metaphysical assumptions and authoritative institutions of
pre-modern life, this book rejects the notion of Locke as an
intellectual anachronism. Indeed, the radical core of Locke's
modern project was the 'democratization of mind', according to
which he challenged practically every previous mode of
philosophical analysis by making the autonomous individual the sole
determinant of truth. It was on the basis of this new philosophical
dispensation that Locke crafted a modern vision not only of
government but also of the churches, the family, education, and the
conduct of international relations.
