John Locke Boeken

Exploring foundational principles of political philosophy, this complete edition combines two of Locke's influential treatises on governance. It delves into the nature of human rights, the social contract, and the justification of government authority, emphasizing the importance of individual liberty and the rule of law. Locke's arguments laid the groundwork for modern democratic thought, making this collection essential for understanding the evolution of political theory and the role of government in society.

Identité et différence Inséré par Locke dans son Essai philosophique concernant l’entendement humain , le « traité de l’identité » a laissé une trace remarquable du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours. Pour la première fois, il donne un nom aux grandes catégories de la métaphysique du sujet : the consciousness , the self , et les associe étroitement dans une problématique de la « conscience de soi ». Pour que celle-ci déploie ses possibilités et ses conflits latents, il faut cependant un moment spécifique de traduction : la proposition par le huguenot français Pierre Coste de leurs équivalents – « la con-science » et « le soi » –, fournissant à toute la philosophie continentale les moyens de sortir des apories du cartésianisme. Cet événement dont nous sommes encore tributaires, l’invention européenne de la conscience , se trouve ici étudié à travers la réédition des textes de Locke et de Coste, augmentée d’une nouvelle traduction et complétée par un commentaire et un dossier.

Would you let a child die if your family were threatened? When the government wants someone to disappear without a trace, they put in a call to Donovan Creed. Creed is a man of many identities, a ruthless assassin with access to all the technology that the military can offer. You don't want to take on Creed. But then again, most don't even see him coming. When Creed meets an orphaned girl, she reminds him of his own daughter, and he swears to protect her from the men who killed her parents. But when his involvement becomes public knowledge amongst the criminal fraternity, Creed and his family also become targets...

WHEN YOU'VE ALREADY BETRAYED EVERYONE YOU LOVE, WHO CAN YOU TURN TO FOR HELP? Former CIA assassin Donovan Creed finds himself at odds with mob-connected Tony Spumoni and practically everyone else he knows, including his boss Darwin, lover Gwen, daughter Kimberly, protégé Callie, co-worker Lou, physician Doc Howard, assorted board members, terrorists, and even a zoo full of angry monkeys!

The revised edition of Peter Laslett's influential work delves into the foundational concepts of political philosophy, focusing on the nature of government and individual rights. It is celebrated for its critical analysis of social contract theory and its impact on modern political thought.

This is the revised version of Peter Laslett's acclaimed edition of Two Treatises of Government, which is widely recognised as one of the classic pieces of recent scholarship in the history of ideas, read and used by students of political theory throughout the world. This 1988 edition revises Dr Laslett's second edition (1970) and includes an updated bibliography, a guide to further reading and a fully reset and revised introduction which surveys advances in Locke scholarship since publication of the second edition. In the introduction, Dr Laslett shows that the Two Treatises were not a rationalisation of the events of 1688 but rather a call for a revolution yet to come.
