摘要：

This essay examines John Locke's engagement with monsters as a question of toleration in the Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Recounting a monster's birth as a case of uncertain identity, Locke endorses a provisional form of judgment. I compare this response with Michel de Montaigne's treatment of monsters in his Essays in order to highlight a politics of imagination and reason relevant to political judgment and toleration. Montaigne alerts us to significant silences in Locke's treatment of monsters that reveal unrecognized dimensions of his tolerationist position in the Essay. The provisional judgment forwarded by each thinker resituates toleration from epistemological questions of identity toward various practices of acknowledgment as theorized by Stanley Cavell. Some of these practices of acknowledgement, I contend, are better suited to the conditions of democratic membership.
