John Locke: Writings on ReligionOxford University Press, 2002 - 290 sider John Locke was a founder and shaper of modern thought and society, and his books are among the most influential ever written. He lived at a time of heightened religious sensibility, and religious motives and theological beliefs were fundamental to his philosophical outlook. Victor Nuovo brings together, for the first time, a comprehensive collection of Locke's writings on religion and theology. Read together, and in context, these writings illustrate the deep and pervasive religious motivation in Locke's thought. They are key texts in intellectual history. |
