About the book >.>.> Locke’s Essays on the Law of Nature were written before his chief philosophical works. They will be of interest to moral and political philosophers to jurists and theologians for only here does he fully explain how natural law is known and to what extent it is binding. The Introduction sheds new light on Locke’s thought and literary career and offers a critical exposition of the argument of the Essays together with a discussion of their place in the history of thought. In addition this book contains Locke’s valedictory speech as Censor of Moral Philosophy at Christ Church Oxford and transcripts of his philosophical writings in shorthand. W. von Leyden was formerly Distinguished Visiting Scholar in the Department of Government at the London School of Economics and Political Science. (SP)
