From Nature to War to Civil Government (Locke, Pt. 3)
Part Three of our section on John Locke, itself part of a larger series Foundations of Western Political Thought. In this video we examine Locke's views on natural rights (the right of nature), natural law (the law of nature), Lockean social contract theory, and the initial, original formation of civil government from out of the state of nature. At various points, we contrast Locke's views with the views of Thomas Hobbes in Leviathan.
