Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"...thoroughly researched and written in lively and engaging style. Its content, presented in historical narratives, biographical sketches and careful expositions of published work is so rich and detailed that one might be easily distractied were it not for the clear and orderlay arrangement of its chapters, a descriptive table of contents, and chapter introductions, all of which is properly attended to will prove to be trustworthy guides."Victor Nuovo, British Journal of the History of Philosophy, 2005."This book is an excellent antidote to noncontextual analyses of single works by famous authors like Spinoza, Bayle, or Lock on toleration. For example, it emerges that Locke was better known in toleration debates for his Reasonableness of Christianity than for his letters On Toleration.This book makes it clear that such authors must be situated in the larger contexts of debates among their predecessors, comtemporaries, and successors if we are to understand the real meaning and importance of their work."John Christian Laursen, British Journal for the History of Philosophy, 2004.
