false 2239140 2 This is the standard edition of John Locke's classic work of the early 1660s, Essays on the Law of Nature. Also included are selected shorter philosophical writings from the same decade. In his 1664 valedictory speech as Censor of Moral Philosophy at Christ Church, Oxford, Locke discusses the question: Can anyone by nature be happy in this life? The volume is completed by selections from Locke's manuscript journals, unpublished elsewhere: on translating Nicole's Essais de Morale; on spelling; on extension; on idolatry; on pleasure and pain; and on faith and reason. The great Locke scholar W. von Leyden introduces each of these works, setting them in their historical context. This volume is an invaluable source for Locke's early thought, of interest to philosophers, political theorists, jurists, theologians, and historians. 2244988 1676 Essays on the Law of Nature: The Latin Text with a Translation, Introduction & Notes, Together with Transcripts of Locke's Shorthand in his Journal for 1676 total:4|5:2|4:1|3:1|2:0|1:0| 4 17 5 1 4 0 false false Thu May 29 14:35:43 -0700 2008 Mon Nov 26 20:51:37 -0800 2007 Thu May 29 14:35:43 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Oct 28 10:45:15 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 10:45:15 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Aug 03 02:19:29 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 02:19:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 11 13:21:53 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 11 13:21:55 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Mon Dec 03 22:41:28 -0800 2007 Mon Dec 03 22:41:28 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2239140
