Comparison Of John Locke And Colonialism
In this journal Armitag stated that John Locke has turned into an essential connection in the historical chain joining liberalism with colonialism. The purposes behind this are essentially true to live. From 1669 to 1675, the Proprietors of infant colony of Carolina among them his benefactor Anthony Ashley Cooper, also known as Earl of Shaftesbury employed Locke as their secretary. From October 1673 to December 1674, he was secretary and after that likewise simultaneously treasurer to the English Council of Trade and Foreign Plantations. Two decades later, close to the end of his life, he was secretary to its successor, the Board of Trade, from 1696 to 1700. This decade of administration in both private and open provincial organization furnished
Locke with a more careful comprehension of his nation's business and states than that controlled by any standard figure in the historical backdrop of political thought before Edmund Burke. Locke never explicitly acknowledged responsibility for the composition of the Fundamental constitutions, but his reticence is not in itself evidence of his involvement. Locke’s reluctance to admit to the authorship of any of his major works apart from the Essay is as notorious as his solemn protest in 1684 “that I am not the author, not only of any libel, but not of any pamphlet or treatise whatsoever in print good bad or indifferent.” Locke neither confirmed nor denied these statements which, in themselves, provided no evidence of the nature of his role in framing the Fundamental Constitutions. Yet if Locke never claimed credit for the Fundamental Constitutions, neither did he ever attempt to distance himself from their provisions tout court. I have no idea John Locke was involved in the slave trading movement. He did profit from it. The great advocate for freedom had his hands dripping in the blood of slave. Although he never admitted it, he was doing anything wrong. To me, it like President Obama is trying to distance himself from Wall Street but at the same he is taking million from them.
