Natural Law, Nonconformity, and Toleration
View through CrossRef
This chapter identifies two significant stages in the development of Locke's mature position about toleration and explains the connections between them. At each stage, Locke made a series of conceptual moves whose combined effect replaced one understanding of the relations between church and state with another, and one upon which the argument of his Epistola de tolerantia/A Letter concerning toleration depended. Locke's ‘Defence of nonconformity’ (1681–2) is shown to be a pivotal text, which looks forward to the conclusions of Two treatises of government as well as Epistola, and which provides pressing reasons to doubt the adequacy of most modern treatments of Locke's view of toleration and the assumptions they embody about his wider moral and political theory.
