Locke and Law (2007)

Author(s): Brooks T

    Abstract: John Locke is one of the most important figures in the history of philosophy. His "Two Treatises of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration" fascinate us as much today as they did when first published three centuries ago. "Locke and Law" presents for the first time in one collection the most important contemporary writings exploring his many contributions to legal theory. These articles and essays deal with a variety of issues, such as natural law, natural rights, property, abortion, constitutional law, the relationship between law and society, punishment, toleration, and civil disobedience.
