Descrizione: Tim Stuart-Buttle considers Cicero’s pivotal influence on the thought of John Locke, but he looks to Locke’s public invocations of Cicero and of the ancient philosophical tradition rather than conducting a comparative analysis of their positions. This approach enables Stuart-Buttle to draw subtle and novel conclusions about Locke’s debts to Cicero on the limits of reason and philosophical inquiry into the foundations of morality, the nature of the soul, and the divine. Stuart-Buttle’s historically sensitive account helps us to appreciate the depth of Locke’s debts to Cicero, as well as the deeply un-Ciceronian elements and innovations of Lockean political theory [Hahmann & Vazquez 2025, 9].
