Item description from seller

8vo. 8 x 5.5 inches. xi + 167 pp. Bound in original green cloth, gilt, in unclipped dust wrapper. Underlining in text confined to Introduction and first twenty pages of main text. John Locke (1632-1704) was an influential English philosopher, who first published some of his most important works, such as his Two Treatises of Government (1690) and A Letter Concerning Toleration (1689) in the wake of the English Revolution of 1688-89. His political philosophy with its support for liberalism and advocacy of social contract theory, influenced the French philosophers and Scottish Enlightenment thinkers and above all, the American revolutionaries. His theory of mind, maintaining that we are born without innate ideas and that knowledge is determined by experience, deriving from sense perception, was equally significant and may be regarded as the origin of modern conceptions of identity and the self. Edited by John Wiedhofft Gough (1900-76) of Oriel College, Oxford. This edition first published 1946. PHILOSOPHY GOVERNMENT PHILOSOPHY 17TH CENTURY 20TH CENTURY PHILOSOPHY.…
