"Farouche adversaire de l'absolutisme, défenseur de la tolérance religieuse, père fondateur du libéralisme, John Locke (1632-1704) est une figure canonique de l'histoire de la pensée politique européenne. Il a forgé son oeuvre au coeur même des batailles politiques qui agitaient l'Angleterre de la fin du XVIIe siècle et qui menèrent à la Glorieuse Révolution de 1688. Ce que l'on sait moins, c'est que Locke a également eu une très riche carrière coloniale au service de l'expansion anglaise en Amérique. Sa philosophie constitue le moment inaugural d'une histoire au cours de laquelle allaient être inextricablement noués libéralisme et colonialisme, construction étatique et formation impériale. Elle révèle également les relations intimes qui ont uni épistémologie et politique depuis la découverte du Nouveau Monde. L'Amérique de John Locke entend mettre en évidence l'émergence d'une géopolitique de la connaissance avec laquelle nous sommes encore loin d'avoir fini."--P. [4] of cover.

The Cambridge Platonists were defenders of tolerance in the political as well as the moral sphere ; they held that practical j u d g e m e n t came down in the last instance to individual conscience ; and they laid the foundations of our modern conceptions of conscience and liberty. But at the same time they ma intained the existence of eternal truths , and of a Good-in-itself , identical with Truth and Being, refusing to admit that freedom of conscience i m p li e d moral relativism. They were critics of dogmatism, and of the sectarian notion of "enthusiasm" as a source of illumination , on the grounds that both were disruptive of social harmony; they pleaded the cause of reason , in the hope that it could become the foundation of all human knowledge . Yet , for all that , they ma intained that a certain sort of mystical illumination lay at the heart of all true thought , and that human reason had validity only in virtue of i t s divine origin . They debated with Des cartes and took a keen interest in his mech- ism and his dualism ; they brought the atomistic theories of Democritus back into repute; and they sought to provide a detailed account of the causality link ing all phenomena.
