Classical Liberalism: Locke and the Social Contract (5)

Показать описание

A discussion of Locke's social contract, including what we give up when we accept the liberal view of government as a product of a contract among self-interested individuals.

I am referring to John Locke, Second Treatise of Government, ed. C.B. Macpherson, Indianapolis: Hackett Publishing Inc.

It seems to me with Locke the goal of government is social stability. The social contract is neutral to culture, ethics, education, etc. With the ancients, the goal of the state is the good life which cannot be understood in the absence of considerations of culture, ethics, education etc. I wonder if Locke hasn’t reduced the government ruling principles too much. In other words, is social stability possible in the absence of culture, ethics, education? Is it enough to have the citizen submit their will to the sovereign in exchange for the right to pursue property?

No moral rudder... I guess that explains how our society has fallen so far. I think government needs to stay far away from religion, but promote values such as truth, compassion, etc
