Overview
In "Our Only Star and Compass: Locke and the Struggle for Political Rationality", Peter C. Myers reexamines the role of Locke in liberal political philosophy. Myers considers Locke's philosophy in relation both to contemporary liberalism and to the great works of classical and modern political philosophy. With an emphasis on the human capacity for rational self-government, Myers clarifies Locke's insights into the status of reason in political life, arguing that Locke presents reason as a way of life that offers humans fulfillment, and moral and political moderation.Author Biography: Peter C. Myers is associate professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire.
