Abstract

Locke's views on toleration and natural law have recently received a
'reassessment' at the hands of John William Tate. This article
demonstrates some of the many and various ways in which Tate has
mangled Locke's positions and misconstrued the views of interpreters of
Locke (myself included) whose interpretations he finds uncongenial. It
finds that there are no textual grounds for Tate's claims and invites readers
to reassess whether and how far they ought to be taken seriously
