McGill-Queen's Studies in the History of Ideas
Content:
John Locke's Letter Concerning Toleration is one of the canonical English-language texts in the history of the idea of toleration. Its publication in 1689 sparked a heated debate with Anglican cleric Jonas Proast, and in recent years the Locke-Proast controversy has attracted more attention than ever before. Richard Vernon provides a timely examination of John Locke's arguments in defence of A Letter Concerning Toleration and of their significance for modern political thought.
