Sinopsis

John Locke's political theory has been the subject of many detailed treatments by philosophers and political scientists. "The Lockean Theory of Rights" is a systematic, full-length study of Locke's theory of rights and of its potential for making genuine contributions to contemporary debates about rights and their place in political philosophy. The book refers extensively to Locke's published and unpublished works, arguing that they reveal a coherent and sophisticated theory of rights which relies far less directly on his theological foundations than is commonly supposed. In the process, the author reconstructs a Lockean theory of rights and shows how it illuminates many issues in contemporary moral and political philosophy, including the justification of punishment, problems concerning ethical impartialism and familial morality, the basis and extent of property rights, and rights and duties of justice and charity.

De la contraportada

"A detailed and comprehensive presentation of Lockean theory as a contribution to modern debates about rights, property, justice, government, and consent. It will be as indispensable to participants in these debates as it will to be those who are interested in the work of John Locke."--Jeremy Waldron, University of California, Berkeley

"[This book] is by far the most careful and balanced treatment of this central issue and will be of great value not only to philosophers but also to historians of ideas."--John Dunn, Cambridge University
