“…39 In his interpretation of Locke, this is taken as a reasonable secular principle for legislators, since "a magistrate trying to decide whether or not to suppress a religion he believes dangerous would have to ask not only whether suppressing the religion would promote the public good but also whether it would promote the public good for other magistrates to act on the same principle." 40 Tuckness argues this principle is worth saving from Locke's argument. He separates four different levels.…”

That is, what would be the consequences if Locke's political philosophy has theological foundations, but has also given shape to secular liberalism? Examining Locke's theory in the Letter Concerning Toleration (1689), the article argues that this is indeed the case. The liberal model of toleration is a secularization of the theology of Christian liberty and its division of society into a temporal political kingdom and the spiritual kingdom of Christ. Therefore, when liberal toleration travels beyond the boundaries of the Christian West or when western societies become multicultural, it threatens to lose its intelligibility.

“…Some academics (Tuckness, 2002) argue that this is possible, pointing out that the Lockean principles of toleration and human fallibility were used by the founding fathers of the United States such as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison to separate Church and State, as incorporated in the US constitution.…”

This paper examines the key global debates on liberal peace and peacebuilding and their nexus with the Sri Lankan conflict, the efforts to resolve the conflict and the ensuing local discourses. The end of the cold war heralded the possibility of a liberal world order. This triumph of the liberal order underlined a normative assumption of "the end of history", not as a static closure, but as embodying an ideology with the potential for delineating the optimal form of governance for a state, its economy and citizens 1 . Since the end of the cold-war, liberal peace has become the main policy framework that has been used by the International Community (IC) to engage with and intervene in conflict ridden states as a means for creating global peace by stabilising states and strengthening global markets 2 . However, the liberal peace thesis and the attendant liberal peacebuilding interventionist frameworks for local and global peace have spurned a critical discourse that questions the validity of the thesis and the effectiveness of its policy and practice outcomes. Sri Lanka mirrors the global debates and policy impact of the ideological framework of the global thesis, as it has a history of liberal governance (traceable to the 19 th century) and liberal peacebuilding (traceable to the 20 th century).

“…Desde la óptica lockeana, no había dudas de que hay una visión correcta (el cristianismo) y una miríada de visiones erradas. No obstante, del "error" de las segundas no se desprendía la necesidad de su prohibición; más bien al contrario, las ideas disímiles deberían ser aceptadas y, en la medida de lo posible, re-encausadas hacia la consecución del bienestar de la comunidad (CHEN, 1998;LORENZO, 2003;TUCKNESS, 2002). En principio los planteos de Locke y Nozick parecen compatibles; no obstante, esta apariencia se desvanece cuando consideramos que Nozick rechaza los conceptos de Comunidad y Bien Común que Locke precisa tomar en cuenta para darle sentido a su visión de la tolerancia.…”

resumen En 1974, Robert Nozick publicó *Anarquía, Estado y Utopía*, una obra que, por primera vez, otorgaba estatus teórico a una de las corrientes del pensamiento neoliberal: el libertarianismo. En buena medida, el texto de Nozick se reclama como una relectura en clave de filosofía analítica de la teoría política de John Locke. En este artículo se ofrecen algunos argumentos para mostrar que, aunque la perspectiva de Nozick presenta ciertas similitudes retóricas con la obra del filósofo inglés, en cada uno de los puntos fundamentales (como por ejemplo la idea de derecho, la noción de persona, el papel de la política y los conceptos de justicia y bien público) Nozick se aparta claramente de las premisas lockeanas. Como conclusión, se sostiene que al alejarse de la concepción lockeana, Nozick defiende una sociedad en la que la política está ausente y en la que el Estado aparece, paradójicamente, menos limitado que en las concepciones liberales clásicas. palabras clave John Locke; Robert Nozick; Liberalismo; Bien Público; Política La publicación de Anarquía, Estado y Utopía (NOZICK, 1991, en adelante AEU) abrió dio paso a muchas reseñas críticas. En varias de estas reseñas se señaló que lo que tan polémicamente afirmaba Nozick (la imposibilidad de que un Estado más allá del Estado mínimo fuera aceptable moralmente) no era más que una traducción de las ideas de John Locke a una filosofía analítica y atea. Desde entonces, ha pasado mucho agua bajo el puente. Por un lado, los estudios contextualistas sobre Locke que se habían iniciado con los trabajos de Laslett (1988) y Dunn (1986) se multiplicaron, poniendo en duda algunas certezas sobre el papel de la
