| | John Locke |
 | | In his search for an intellectual foundation for the views to which he was committed it is quite possible that Locke, with a group of friends, was led to explore the epistemological questions that lie at the base of the religious and moral issues surrounding toleration. | | | It is far from clear that Locke’s language commits him irrevocably to a ‘veil of perception’ doctrine. | | | Exactly what place in the actual political events Locke’s texts played is problematic but there can be no doubting the direction in which they pointed and the appeal of his argument. |

| | John Locke -- Overview [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Locke therefore (to use later language) was a voluntary in religion, as he was an individualist on questions of state interference. | | | Locke does not raise questions of Biblical criticism, such as Hobbes had already suggested and some of his own followers put forward soon afterwards; and the conclusions at which he arrives are in harmony with the Christian faith, if without the fulness of current doctrine. | | | The treatment of, that is to say, is limited to general considerations regarding the function of faith and the relations of faith and reason as guides of the human mind. |

| | Political Philosophy of John Locke [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Locke is also renown for his writings on toleration in which he espoused the right to freedom of conscience and religion (except when religion was deemed intolerant!), and for his cogent criticism of hereditary monarchy and patriarchalism. | | | The present head of Christ Church for Locke was the Presbyterian John Owen (1616-83), a Puritan proponent of toleration and independence for Protestant sects and an earlier supporter and follower of Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658). | | | Locke’s system is brilliant, and so we must read him, for hidden in the well-crafted arguments, we also find gems of thoughts and insights. |

| | His epistemology is directly relevant to this issue: since we cannot know perfectly the truth about all differences of religious opinion, Locke held, there can be no justification for imposing our own beliefs on others. | | | In a series of Letters on Toleration, he argued against the exercise of any governmental effort to promote or to restrict particular religious beliefs and practices. | | | John Locke's intellectual curiosity and social activism also led him to consider issues of general public concern in the lively political climate of seventeenth-century England. |

| | John Locke |
| | Locke remained a Christian, maintaining that since our minds are not capable of comprehending reality, we must supplement our knowledge with faith: he was also a strong advocate of religious liberty, writing four letters on the principle of religious toleration. | | | Man acquired knowledge not by means of divine revelation or because he possessed innate ideas, but because his senses permitted him to learn from the external world, and put him in touch with reality. | | | Locke was no democrat: he believed that laborers had neither the time, the education, nor the inclination to make rational political judgements, and should not, therefore, be permitted to have a voice in government, and he denied a role in politics or government to individuals who were not possessed of property. |

| | John Locke (1632-1704) |
| | As Locke concludes, “The magistrate's power extends not to the establishing of any articles of faith, or forms of worship, by the force of his laws. | | | As one commentator summarized Locke's view, “We have a right to religious freedom because the nature of faith itself is contradicted by compulsion.” Locke correctly observed that the mind “cannot be compelled to the belief of anything by outward force,” but laws, ultimately, are upheld by force. | | | Philosopher John Locke, along with thinkers such as Thomas Hobbes and Rene Descartes, is often blamed by Christian social ethicists for misappropriating the natural law tradition, articulating unbiblical views of human nature, and generally secularizing modern Western political reflection. |

| | Locke was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, where he followed the traditional classical curriculum and then turned to the study of medicine and science, receiving a medical degree, but his interest in philosophy was reawakened by the study of Descartes. | | | Filmer had argued that the authority of a king is equivalent to a father's authority over his children, derived from God's grant of authority to Adam. | | | Locke's influence in modern philosophy has been profound and, with his application of empirical analysis to ethics, politics, and religion, he remains one of the most important and controversial philosophers of all time. |

The state formed by the social contract was guided by the natural law, which guaranteed those inalienable rights. |
