Synopsis

John Locke is one of the most important figures in the history of political thought.

* Locke's life and the background to the Second Treatise on Government
*The text and ideas of the Second Treatise

For student's coming to Locke for the first time, Locke on Government will be an invaluable guide to his political thought.
