Summary: | In 1962, C. B. Macpherson challenged conventional interpretations of the thought of both John Locke and the English Leveller movement of the 1640s. In the years since the publication of his book, his interpretations have received much acute criticism. Some critics have ably attacked his reading of John Locke; others, his view of the Leveller movement. But the doubtfulness of Macpherson's interpretation has not led his critics to seriously reexamine the question of whether Locke and the Levellers share a common vision. I shall do this, and shall broaden the context of interpretation to include more than their political views. |
