>Where the body of the people, or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to APPEAL TO HEAVEN, whenever they judge the cause of sufficient moment. And therefore, though the people cannot be judge, so as to have, by the constitution of that society, any superior power, to determine and give effective sentence in the case; yet they have, by a law antecedent and paramount to all positive laws of men, reserved that ultimate determination to themselves which belongs to all mankind, where there lies no appeal on earth, viz. to judge, whether they have just cause to make their APPEAL TO HEAVEN.

Explain picrel.

Yeah, I'm thinking: B A S E D.

How can one man be so based?

Beside's Voltaire and Diderot and the French Revolutionaries, most everybody else was a Christian, or at the very least, a Deist Christian-sympathizer.

State of nature is security in the rights of one's person and property. State of war is the infringement of those rights.

Locke's theologically founded liberalism is based and has nothing to do with the current soulless an*glo liberalism. How did it degenerate so badly?

Are there any novels/poems with lockean themes?

>It's not difficult - we labelled ourselves the enlighteners
>We labelled all that came before us as completely ignorant
>If you don't accept our unjustified presuppositions, you're in favour of ignorance
>How are you not getting this?

His model of natural privatization being legitimized by the private character of labour is elegant, but how could such right be defended in a state of nature? Am I to understand that to Locke, a right does not have to be enforceable to be a right? Also, how can we compare Locke's conception of property to Hobbe's?

ITT: Universally hated philosophers

Why do Anglos make people seethe so much?

I did, but then I read "Two Treatises of Government".
