This concise new study from one of the leading political philosophers of our time looks at the principle of equality in the thought of John Locke, and the extent to which this is grounded in Christian principles. Throughout the text, which is based on the Carlyle Lectures given in Oxford in 1999, Jeremy Waldron discusses contemporary approaches to equality and rival interpretations of Locke, and this format gives the whole an unusual degree of accessibility and intellectual excitement, of interest to philosophers, political theorists, lawyers and theologians around the world.
