Abstract

This chapter discusses in some detail the theory of property presented in John Locke's Two Treatises of Government. It argues that Locke's account, though it has some utilitarian and GR-based strands in it, is to be regarded as fundamentally an SR-based justification of private property.

Keywords: John Locke, private property, Two Treatises of Government, special rights, general rights, utilitarianism

Subject

Social and Political Philosophy Philosophy of Law
