Sommario/riassunto

From earliest times Locke's writings have been the subject of controversy. An intellectual caught up in the politics of late 17th century England, his writings on politics reveal a man attempting to combine an analysis of the underlying principles of society with a deep commitment to a specific political stance and party.  This study, first published in 1978 explains why Locke's vision of political life has continued to fascinate political thinkers of many different persuasions.
