Locke for sure... but which edition?,
By
Ce commentaire est de: Second Treatise of Government: An Essay Concerning the True Original, Extent and End of Civil Government (Paperback)
"The most famous and the most influential of all modern natural right teachers was John Locke." - Leo Strauss"John Locke has been called America's philosopher, our king in the only way a philosopher has ever been king of a great nation." - Robert A Goldwin The intent of this review is not to familiarize you with the political philosophy of John Locke, for such a task would require far more than 1,000 words and has already been done elsewhere by others far more qualified than I. This review is for those who have already decided to purchase the Second Treatise but are unaware of the difference between the Peardon (Library of Liberal Arts), Cox (Crofts Classics), and MacPherson (Hackett) editions of the text. The Cox and MacPherson editions are strikingly similar; however, Cox has taken the liberty of modernizing the text and in the process seems to have misplaced a few words. Peardon, on the other hand, seems to have modernized so much as to have completely lost most of Locke's italicization. So, it is my recommendation to purchase the MacPherson edition. That, or go read the hand-corrected copy of the third printing which is kept in the library of Christ's College, Cambridge University. Unfortunately, the pages in the MacPherson edition are a tad thin, and highlighters seem to leak through the pages. So, if you tend to make good use of highlighers, then you should probably purchase the Cox edition because the library at Christ's College definitely will not allow you to write on their copy.

Readerly,

Ce commentaire est de: Second Treatise of Government: An Essay Concerning the True Original, Extent and End of Civil Government (Paperback)
Locke is one of the easier writers to read concerning politics because he is very conversational. This work is in part, a direct response to Hobbes' Leviathan. In fact, as you read his work you'll notice a familiar ring of the American founding, like the Declaration of Independence or the American Constitution. Generally, Locke begins by explaining the state of nature and the certain natural rights. Later, he discusses his theory on why government came into being and how it can be dissolved. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in political philosophy and/or history.
