Synopsis "A Letter Concerning Toleration"

A Letter Concerning Toleration, written by John Locke, was originally published in 1689 and focuses on politics & social sciences while primarily centering on philosophy and religious beliefs and practices. In A Letter Concerning Toleration, John Locke develops a religious philosophy supporting toleration for various Christian denominations. John Locke's A Letter Concerning Toleration was written contrary to the writings of other authors of his time such as Thomas Hobbes whose writings were similarly focused on politics & social sciences but emphasized the religious philosophy of uniformity. One of the founders of Empiricism, John Locke viewed more religious groups as a way of preventing civil unrest.

John Locke (1632-1704) was an English philosopher who laid the foundations of the European Enlightenment. Locke believed that each branch of government should have separate powers, that freedom should be protected from state interference, and that the state should protect its citizens' private property. These ideas greatly influenced the founding fathers of the United States. Locke also proposed a new theory of knowledge acquisition based entirely on experience and reflection.
