John Locke is one of England's most influential thinkers. 
Specifically, the narrative of the book focuses primarily on three debates. First, the discussion on toleration in the wake of the possible succession of the Catholic Stuart line in the person of James II is analyzed. It also takes into account the discussion on patriarchalism arising from the civil service examination to the monarchical cause and the possibilities of a republican government that led to its support for the cause of William of Orange as the culmination of the Glorious Revolution against the Stuart monarchy. Finally, the third discussion revolves around the ownership and value of money in the wake of the financial revolution of 1690.
