Abstract | ||
Showing the fabric of Locke’s Liberalism in Two Treatises of Government, this paper focuses on three philosophical, historical and philosophical - historical approaches in Lockean political studies, to investigate and justify the contradictions in Lockean scholarship . In other words, the present article investigates the historical contexts of Locke’s political theorization; examining how and what extent, his fairly long in the administration of British colonization in “New World” and the internal civil, political strife and religious disputes have influenced or possibly determined the various components of his political theory. This paper is also to answer the question, how religious and domestic disputes, and British colonial lands and the plantations, influenced Locke’s Janusian face and his liberalism. | ||
