Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remaining fully within the classical liberal tradition, recasts Locke's (1632-1704) political thought in terms of his conflict with the doctrine of his contemporary, Robert Filmer (d. 1653). Focuses on Locke's steps in moving the argument forward, relegating other aspects of his treatment to footnotes. Designed to be accessible to graduate and upper-level undergraduates of political theory by assuming no previous knowledge of Locke's ideas, and avoiding a conventional analysis of the historical context.
