Features: An Approach to Political Philosophy: Locke in Contexts (Cambridge, 1993) is a collection of essays by Professor Tully on Locke's studies, including papers he wrote from 1979 to 1990 on Locke's thought, categorized by themes. The book explores themes such as government, tolerance, discipline, property, indigenous rights, individualism, power, labor, self-ownership, community, progress, freedom, participation, and revolution. Tully attempts to explain these themes against the complex background of early modern European political thought and practice. Therefore, when discussing Locke's ideas and viewpoints, he focuses on analyzing their origins and provides critical commentary. This in-depth, empirical, and comparative approach to the history of ideas runs throughout the book's themes, offering many key perspectives for understanding the continuity and originality of Locke's political thought.
