Approach to Political Philosophy - Locke in Contexts

Informationen zum Autor After 45 years of mundane employment, James Tully retired and took a holiday he had denied himself for many years. Upon travelling on a cruise ship which brought him to the Arctic Circle, he watched the blue sea pass before him and wrote the first draft of his first novel. He then spent six months rewriting the effort of those two weeks, mostly for the purpose of correcting spelling and punctuation.
