Opis

Nicholas Jolley argues that Locke's three greatest works - An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, Two Treatises of Government, and Epistola de Tolerantia - are unified by a concern to promote the cause of religious toleration. Jolley shows how Locke uses the principles of his theory of knowledge to criticize religious persecution.
