This program gives us Locke the man and the thinker. It states, explicates, and clarifies Locke’s principal views by placing him in conversational settings as he returns from exile in Holland and in flashbacks with the Earl of Shaftesbury and others. Thus, what emerges is the character of Locke as well as his philosophical positions, which are explained against the political background of his time—when he himself was exiled, and friends, no more revolutionary but perhaps less discreet, were drawn and quartered.
