Synopsis
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.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    Excellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.

  • 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 ...
