Among the most influential writings in the history of
Western political thought, John Locke's Two Treatises of
Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration remain vital
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 and the 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.
