Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the foundations of political authority, this influential work critiques the divine right of kings as proposed by Sir Robert Filmer, presenting a case for government based on natural rights and social contract theory. Locke argues for the protection of individual liberties and the importance of consent in governance, laying the groundwork for modern democratic principles. The treatises are essential for understanding the evolution of political thought and the justification of civil government.
