About this product

Product Information

John Locke laid the groundwork of modern liberalism. He argued that political societies exist to defend the lives, liberties and properties of their citizens and that no government has any authority except by the consent of the people. When rulers became tyrants and act against the common good, then the people have the right of revolution against them. Writing against the backdrop of Charles II's savage purge of the Whig movement, Locke set out to attack the fabric of the divine right of rulers. The rights of property- owners, of Native Americans, and of women and children, the need for economic improvement, the separation of commands, and the nature and limits of consent--these are all topics within Locke's compass and make this book the subject of intense debate. This is the first modernized edition of the Two Treatises based on Locke's own corrected text as he left it for posterity at his death. It includes an introduction, chronology of Locke's life and times, extensive glossary and keyword index.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • If you ever wondered where Jefferson got his ideas for the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution, look no further.

    Perhaps the one of the greatest pieces of literature ever written, Locke is considered the father of liberalism. His work was so beloved by our founders, words were used to build our most beloved documents that detail how a government should be. Before John Locke, governments were Patriarchal in nature. People believed as their king would tell them, and as Robert Filmer's Patriarcha would instruct, that theirs was the "divine right of kings." Meaning, God made kings to rule over men. So strongly was Locke not a fan of this idea, his first treatise is dedicated entirely to dismantling this idea. In his second treatise Locke posits that governments exist only by the consent of those being governed, because as the "state of nature" requires that no man is obligated to another, and only to ...
