A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

John Locke is considered the first of the British empiricists, but is equally important to social contract theory. His ideas had enormous influence on the development of epistemology and political philosophy, and he is widely regarded as one of the most influential Enlightenment thinkers, classical republicans, and contributors to liberal theory. His writings influenced Voltaire and Rousseau, many Scottish Enlightenment thinkers, as well as the American revolutionaries. This influence is reflected in the American Declaration of Independence.

Présentation de l'éditeur

A Letter Concerning Toleration is the empiricist John Locke's argument for the separation of religion and government. The letter asserts that only those churches allowing toleration should be present in society, for only then will unrest be quelled. Although Locke wrote in reaction to the ubiquitous control of the Catholic Church, his concerns continue to be valid and his arguments worthy of study.
