| In this, the second of his Two Treatises of Government, John Locke examines humankindâ s transition from its original state of nature to a civil society. One can see the lasting influence of Lockeâ s ideas through their familiarity to the modern readerâ the roots of classical liberalism are here, and many of Lockeâ s arguments foreshadow contemporary debates concerning government, liberty, and property rights. The introduction and annotations included in this edition are intended to contextualize the work and prevent misunderstanding, without advancing any particular scholarly interpretation or merely summarizing Lockeâ s reasoning. This edition has its origin in the acclaimed Broadview Anthology of Social and Political Thought and adheres to the anthologyâ s format and high standards of accuracy and accessibility. The Broadview Anthology of Social and Political Thought is edited by Andrew Bailey (University of Guelph), Samantha Brennan (University of Western Ontario), Will Kymlicka (Queenâ s University), Jacob Levy (McGill University), Alex Sager (Portland State University), and Clark Wolf (Iowa State University). |
