Locke and the Legislative Point of View

Más información sobre el libro

The book delves into the complexities of moral principles guiding political action, particularly addressing the "toleration paradox." Alex Tuckness highlights John Locke's insights, specifically his "legislative point of view," which contrasts with the traditional focus on consent. By examining Locke's later writings on religious toleration, Tuckness argues for a political approach rooted in principles that a reasonable legislator would support, emphasizing the need to avoid self-defeating measures in governance.
