John Locke by Eric Mack

This is the second volume in the "Major Conservative and Libertarian Thinkers". "Major Conservative and Libertarian Thinkers" provides comprehensive accounts of the works of seminal conservative thinkers from a variety of periods, disciplines and traditions - the first series of its kind.

John Locke Reviews

"The volumes in this timely series comprise the most comprehensive body of material on conservative and libertarian thought yet published in a single project devoted to the subject. The series will prove an indispensable tool not only for those concerned with the history of political thought but also for those who confront the challenging task of constructing a viable contemporary conservative identity. Professor Meadowcroft had a difficult editorial task, to which he has responded with a judicious choice of thinkers and topics."--Noel O'Sullivan, Professor of Political Philosophy, the University of Hull, UK.
John Locke is without a question the book I would put in the hands of anyone looking for an overview of Locke's political philosophy, especially someone looking for an overview of that shows how and why Locke is indeed a proto-libertarian or proto-Objectivist rights theorist. - Reason Papers, Fall 2010
