More about the book
Focusing on the concept of natural law, Locke's work outlines a framework for a civil society where individuals possess inherent rights to protect themselves and their property. He critiques the notion of absolute sovereignty, advocating instead for a government that serves the people and can be reformed if it fails to do so. This foundational text, published in 1689, significantly contributes to political philosophy and the development of liberal thought, reflecting Locke's influence as a key figure in shaping modern democratic principles.
