A Letter Concerning Toleration

John Locke

Sinopse

In "A Letter Concerning Toleration," John Locke argues for the vital importance of religious tolerance in a pluralistic society, articulating the necessity of separating civil governance from individual belief systems. Through clear, compelling prose and robust philosophical reasoning, Locke critiques the intertwining of state power and religion, positing that true faith must be voluntary and cannot be enforced. He draws upon contemporary debates in 17th-century Europe regarding varying religious doctrines, using these conflicts to exemplify the destructive consequences of intolerance and advocating for a social contract rooted in mutual respect and understanding. John Locke, a pivotal figure in Enlightenment philosophy, was deeply influenced by the tumultuous religious wars of his time. His experiences and observations of the struggles between Catholics and Protestants in England shaped his thoughts on governance and human rights. Locke's background in both philosophy and political theory underpins his ability to traverse complex theological arguments while maintaining a focus on civil society's practical requirements. This essential text is a cornerstone for anyone interested in political philosophy, religious studies, or the development of modern democratic thought. Locke's eloquent defense of tolerance not only remains relevant but serves as a resonant reminder of the necessity for understanding and coexistence in contemporary society.

The Shortest History of Ancient...

Ross King

"For who is so indifferent or indolent as not to wish to know by what means the Romans succeeded in subjecting nearly the whole inhabited world to their sole government―a thing unique in history?"―Polybius, second century BCE 
Ancient Rome gave rise to the Roman Empire, one of history's greatest civilizations. It flourished for roughly five hundred years and, at its height, made up at least twenty percent of the world's population. It left an indelible mark on the world, shaping politics, laws, philosophy, and architecture, and gave us Roman numerals, the calendar, aqueducts, and concrete. Alongside the Greeks, the Romans laid the groundwork for Western civilization. 
In this fast-paced history, Ross King introduces the emperors and warriors, the madmen and upstarts, and the artists and gladiators responsible for the empire's rise, reign, and ruin. King's vivid narrative offers fresh context for key political and religious events and paints lively portraits of Rome's most formidable and notorious leaders. Spanning over one thousand years of Roman history, The Shortest History of Ancient Rome brings an ancient civilization to vibrant life, elucidating why the Romans still matter to us today.
