although the "two treatises" would become well known in the second half of the 18th century, they were somewhat neglected when published. between 1689 and 1694, around 200 tracts and treatises were published concerning the legitimacy of the glorious revolution. three of these mention locke, two of which were written by friends of locke. when hobbes published the "leviathan" in 1651, by contrast, dozens of texts were immediately written in response to it. as mark goldie explains: ""leviathan" was a monolithic and unavoidable presence for political writers in restoration england in a way that in the first half of the eighteenth the "two treatises" was not."

two treatises of government (or two treatises of government: in the former, the false principles, and foundation of sir robert filmer, and his followers, are detected and overthrown. the latter is an essay concerning the true original, extent, and end of civil government) is a work of political philosophy published anonymously in 1689 by john locke. the "first treatise" attacks patriarchalism in the form of sentence-by-sentence refutation of robert filmer's "patriarcha", while the "second treatise" outlines locke's ideas for a more civilized society based on natural rights and contract theory.
