Research interests and PhD supervision
- Late medieval and early modern science and philosophy
Professor Milton's research interests centre around the history of philosophy and its interconnections with the natural sciences in the late medieval and early modern periods, 1300-1750, with a particular interest in the life and writings of John Locke, on whose unpublished papers he has been working for many years, and on which he has published widely. He recently completed work on a critical edition of John Locke’s early writings on toleration for the Clarendon Edition of the Works of John Locke (An Essay concerning Toleration and Other Writings on Law and Politics, 1667–1683, 2006, paperback, 2010) and he is currently working on another volume in the Clarendon Edition (Literary and Historical Writings), and a book on Locke’s theory of toleration.
