Features: The discussion on the role of education and family in Locke's liberalism is often overlooked, and this book provides a key analysis. Ta compares Locke's Some Thoughts Concerning Education with Plato's The Republic and Rousseau's Emile, thereby demonstrating that this neglected educational treatise actually contains a comprehensive perspective on moral and social life. Locke believed that the family is not an enemy of individual freedom and equality, but a positive facilitator. For contemporary readers, Ta's brilliant reassessment of Locke's thought reveals the previously unrecognized scope and consistency within it.
