It demonstrates that his vision of modern life was constructed on a philosophy of human freedom that is the intellectual nerve connecting the various strands of his thought. By revealing the depth and originality of Lockes critique of the metaphysical assumptions and authoritative institutions of pre-modern life, this book rejects the notion of Locke as an intellectual anachronism. Indeed, the radical core of Lockes modern project was the democratization of mind, according to which he challenged practically every previous mode of philosophical analysis by making the autonomous individual the sole determinant of truth. It was on the basis of this new philosophical dispensation that Locke crafted a modern vision not only of government but also of the churches, the family, education, and the conduct of international relations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943655506208,"sku":"NEW0521192803","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/john-locke-and-modern-life-0521192803","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
