Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Treatise outlines a theory of civil society. John Locke begins by describing the state of nature, a picture much more stable than Thomas Hobbes' state of "war of every man against every man," and argues that all men are created equal in the state of nature by God. From this, he goes on to explain the hypothetical rise of property and civilization, in the process explaining that the only legitimate governments are those that have the consent of the people. Therefore, any government that rules without the consent of the people can, in theory, is overthrown. Locke's political philosophy is compared and contrasted with Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan. The motivation in both cases is self-preservation with Hobbes arguing the need of an absolute monarch to prevent the war of "all against all" inherent in anarchy while Locke argues that the protection of life, liberty, and property can be achieve by a parliamentary process that protects, not violates, one's rights. Locke explores a number of notable themes such as conquest and slavery, property, representative government, and the right of revolution.

Book excerpt: John Locke's Two Treatises is a pivotal work for anyone studying political philosophy. Locke was a doctor, a scientist and a philosopher, who made key contributions to the development of Enlightenment thinking in the late 1600s. In the Second Treatise, Locke presents a nuanced view on the state of nature, on which Hobbes based his earlier works. Locke argues that people begin with a neutral, equal status, rather than some being born with a divinely defined position of authority. He expounds his concepts on the principle of conquest through war. He discusses slavery, because he considers the state of the government of England at the time being perilously close to enslaving the population. He considers this undesirable, even if the population at the time seem to acquiesce to it, because it is antithetical to the fundamental principle that human beings are free and cannot even voluntarily give up that freedom on a permanent basis. Controversially to modern eyes, however, he does not reject slavery completely as a concept, accepting that it may occur justly through conquest, as a form of extension of the state of war. Locke proposes a circumscribed view of property ownership, explaining that, in the case of land, it ought to be limited to that which individuals can cultivate for themselves. He presents a mechanism for extending this core concept to cover money. He maintains the citizens' right to revolt and propounds principles for representative government, which does not have to be a republic but could instead be a monarchy with a suitable contract between ruler and subjects. He also discusses the distinction between executive and legislative branches of government, a key principle of modern constitutions.

Book excerpt: "Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours." --- John Locke Two Treatises of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration Two Treatises of Civil Government John LOCKE (1632 - 1704) The Two Treatises of Civil Government is a work of political philosophy published anonymously in 1689 by John Locke. The First Treatise is an extended attack on Sir Robert Filmer's Patriarcha, which argued for a divinely-ordained, hereditary, absolute monarchy. The more influential Second Treatise outlines a theory of civil society based on natural rights and contract theory. Locke begins by describing the "state of nature," and goes on to explain the hypothetical rise of property and civilization, asserting that the only legitimate governments are those which have the consent of the people. Locke's ideas heavily influenced both the American and French Revolutions. His notions of people's rights and the role of civil government provided strong support for the intellectual movements of both revolutions. A Letter Concerning Toleration John LOCKE (1632 - 1704), translated by William POPPLE (1638 - 1708) Letter Concerning Toleration by John Locke was originally published in 1689. Its initial publication was in Latin, though it was immediately translated into other languages. In this "letter" addressed to an anonymous "Honored Sir" (actually Locke's close friend Philip von Limborch, who published it without Locke's knowledge) Locke argues for a new understanding of the relationship between religion and government. One of the founders of Empiricism, Locke develops a philosophy that is contrary to the one expressed by Thomas Hobbes in Leviathan, primarily because it supports toleration for various Christian denominations. Locke's work appeared amidst a fear that Catholicism might be taking over England, and responds to the problem of religion and government by proposing toleration as the answer. Unlike Hobbes, who saw uniformity of religion as the key to a well-functioning civil society, Locke argues that more religious groups actually prevent civil unrest. Locke argues that civil unrest results from confrontations caused by any magistrate's attempt to prevent different religions from being practiced, rather than tolerating their proliferation. Locke's primary goal is to "distinguish exactly the business of civil government from that of religion." He makes use of extensive argument from analogy to accomplish his goal, and relies on several key points. The thing that he wants to persuade the reader of is that government is instituted to promote external interests, relating to life, liberty, and the general welfare, while the church exists to promote internal interests, i.e., salvation. The two serve separate functions, and so, must be considered to be separate institutions.
