Exceptionally well written, this book represents a major contribution to Lockean scholarship. An original approach.
— Choice Reviews
An original, perceptive, and demanding contribution to the debate on interpretation that is at the center of recent literature on liberal politics.
— John A. Gueguen, Illinois State University; Perspectives on Political Science
The best book on the foundations of Locke's moral and political doctrine. . . .
—
This is an important contribution. . . . Forges ahead to recover a very philosophical and prudent Locke, who emerges as still the best philosophical account of the liberal regime. . . . This book enters right into the main arguments about Locke and offers a fresh interpretation.
