John Locke's "A Letter Concerning Toleration"

Abstract: 3 pages in length. To understand toleration as Locke intended is to realize its inherent relation to possessing conscience. His 1689 paper entitled "A Letter Concerning Toleration" set a significant precedent with regard to how toleration, in and of itself, is not solely connected with propriety, but rather holds more of an impact upon concerns of political morality. Insofar as one might consider this approach to be somewhat of a limitation upon the notion of toleration, it actually represents a broader perspective of the term that incorporates pertinent principles of one's existence: civic virtue, religion and political morality.
