Résumé

In "Locke, Liberty, and the Individual, " Jeremy Riley delves into the life and ideas of John Locke, exploring his profound influence on the development of liberal thought and modern political theory. This book unpacks Locke's foundational contributions to concepts of natural rights, individual liberty, property, and the role of government, showing how his philosophy laid the groundwork for modern liberal democracies.
Riley offers an in-depth analysis of Locke's key works, particularly the Second Treatise of Government, and examines how Locke's vision of the social contract and limited government shaped political revolutions, from the Glorious Revolution in England to the American Revolution. The book also highlights the contradictions within Locke's philosophy, including his views on colonialism, slavery, and his exclusion of certain groups from the full exercise of liberty.
Through engaging analysis and critical examination, "Locke, Liberty, and the Individual" offers a comprehensive understanding of Locke's lasting influence, and provides readers with the tools to appreciate how his ideas continue to resonate in contemporary debates about individual rights, the nature of government, and the ongoing quest for justice and equality in a modern world.
