Measuring the Distance between Locke and Toland

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the philosophical connections between John Locke and John Toland, particularly in the context of the accusations made by Bishop Stillingfleet regarding heresy. It argues that the perceived differences between Locke's acceptance of "above reason" doctrines and Toland's rejection of them are overstated. Through detailed analysis of texts and scholarly interpretations, the author demonstrates that Toland's deviations from Locke are less significant than previously thought, affirming Stillingfleet's linkage while correcting his interpretation.
