A letter concerning toleration by
John Locke(
)
331 editions published between 1689 and 2018 in 9 languages and held by 4,670 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Locke argued that religious belief ought to be compatible with reason, that no king, prince or magistrate rules legitimately without the consent of the people, and that government has no right to impose religious beliefs or styles of worship on the public. Locke's defense of religious tolerance and freedom of thought was revolutionary in its time. Even today, his letter poses a challenge to religious intolerance, whether state-sponsored or originating from religious dogmatists. Based on both Locke's original Latin and the seventeenth-century English translation of William Popple, this edition offers a reader-friendly version that remains loyal to the original text. In addition to a forty-page introduction that situates the Letter in its historical and philosophical contexts, this edition includes excerpts from writings on religious toleration by William Penn, Baruch Spinoza, Pierre Bayle, and Samuel von Pufendorf, as well as generous selections from the famous Locke-Proast debates on religious toleration. -- Publisher website

The reasonableness of Christianity : as delivered in the Scriptures by
John Locke(
)
129 editions published between 1695 and 2018 in 5 languages and held by 2,585 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"In 1695 John Locke published The Reasonableness of Christianity, an enquiry into the foundations of Christian belief. He did so anonymously, to avoid public involvement in the fiercely partisan religious controversies of the day. In the Reasonableness Locke considered what it was to which all Christians must assent in faith; he argued that the answer could be found by anyone for themselves in the divine revelation of Scripture alone. He maintained that the requirements of Scripture were few and simple, and therefore offered a basis for tolerant agreement among all Christians, and the promise of peace, stability, and security through toleration." "This is the first critical edition of the Reasonableness: for the first time an authoritative annotated text is presented, with full information about sources, variants, amendments, and the publishing history of the work. Also provided in the editorial notes are cross-references, references to other works by Locke, definitions of terms, and other information conducive to an understanding of the text." "In his editorial introduction John Higgins-Biddle investigates how Locke's ideas developed, and offers a critical assessment of the three main contemporary and subsequent interpretations of Locke's religious thought, all of which are shown to be unsatisfactory."--Jacket

Two treatises of government : in the former, the false principles and foundation of Sir Robert Filmer and his followers are
detected and overthrown, the latter is an essay concerning the true original, extent, and end of civil government by
John Locke(
)
86 editions published between 1690 and 2012 in English and German and held by 1,052 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Widely considered to be the father of liberalism, John Locke was a leading philosopher of the Enlightenment. His Two Treatises of Government was written during the period of Whig opposition to Charles II and James II in the 1680s. Published a year after the Glorious Revolution of 1688 brought William and Mary to the throne, it offers a theory of natural law that distinguishes between legitimate and illegitimate governments and argues for the legitimacy of revolt against tyrannical governments. Important contributions to Enlightenment thought, these ideas remain influential today. In this reprint of the third edition (1689), the last edition published during Locke's lifetime, Locke espouses radical theories that influenced the ideologies of the American and French revolutions and became the basis for the social and political philosophies of, Rousseau, Voltaire, and the founding fathers of the United States, especially Hamilton, Jefferson, and Madison. In the first treatise, Locke aims to refute the doctrine of the patriarchal and absolute right of the divine right of kings doctrine put forth by Robert Filmer's Patriarcha. He examines key biblical passages to prove that scripture does not support Filmer's premise. The second treatise offers Locke's positive theory of government, in which he establishes a theory that reconciles the liberty of the citizen with political order. His basic premise is founded on the independence of the individual. He declares that men are born free and equal in their rights and that wealth is the product of labor. In his revolutionary theory of the social contract he proposes that a legitimate government must preserve the rights to life, liberty, health and property of its citizens, and prosecute and punish those in violation of those rights--From publisher description

Locke on toleration by
John Locke(
)
13 editions published in 2010 in English and held by 946 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"John Locke's Letter Concerning Toleration (1689) is one of the most widely-read texts in the political theory of toleration, and a key text for the liberal tradition. However, Locke also defended toleration more extensively in three subsequent Letters, which he wrote in response to criticism by an Anglican cleric, Jonas Proast. This edition, which includes a new translation of the original Letter, by Michael Silverthorne, enables readers to assess John Locke's theory of toleration by studying both his classic work and essential extracts from the later Letters. An introduction by Richard Vernon sets Locke's theory in its historical context and examines the key questions for contemporary political theorists which arise from this major work in the history of political thought"--
