Hobbs states that once the people had given the power to the state that they had given up all their rights‚ which was the price that they would have to pay to be safe.

(p.198) Property Rights “In John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government‚ food waste is crucial to the foundation of the rights of humans to the resources God gave them.” (p.201) Locke sees the world as god’s creation.

29th‚ 2013 Abstract: First‚ I explore John Locke’s conception of substance. After‚ I argue that Locke’s theory of substance is necessary for his theory of identity‚ and therefore philosophically vital for Locke’s ethical and political theories. I consider objections to Locke‚ but ultimately defend Locke’s theory of substance and its primacy in Locke’s overall philosophy through a different interpretive approach.

Locke‚ Berkeley & Hume Enlightenment began with an unparalleled confidence in human reason. The new science’s success in making clear the natural world through Locke‚ Berkeley‚ and Hume affected the efforts of philosophy in two ways. The first is by locating the basis of human knowledge in the human mind and its encounter with the physical world. Second is by directing philosophy’s attention to an analysis of the mind that was capable of such cognitive success. John Locke set the tone for enlightenment

John Locke believes in the Imago Dei‚ that is the belief that humans are made in the image and likeness of God. Since humans are believed to be created in the image and likeness of God‚ Locke proposed that the value of the individual is justified by the authority of God.

From this‚ Locke reasoned that people have a right to private property which is taking
