John Locke (1632-1704), one of the great philosophers, is probably
best known for his contributions to political thought. In this
outstanding volume, Professor Eric Mack of Tulane University
explains Locke's philosophical position, placing it in the
tumultuous political and religious context of 17th century England.
For Locke, entering into political society did not involve giving
up one's natural rights, but rather transferring to governmental
authority the job of protecting those rights. In this rigorous
critical analysis, Mack argues that Locke provides an impressive -
if not decisive - philosophical case for the view that individuals
have natural rights to life, liberty and property, despite the
existence or actions of any political authority.>
