1901 Locke's theory of Resistance Rights and Frequent Rebellion. As with so much of John Locke's political thought, his theory of resistance rights and its link to rebellion has evoked much controversy. The topic of this paper is precisely this dissention between Locke, who attacked absolutism, and some of his opponents such as Hobbes who advocated it as the only feasible means of controlling the volatile and potentially dangerous masses. The objective here is to set out Locke's ideas on government and resistance, and then to follow it up with the counter arguments against him. 4.5 pgs. 10 f/c. 1b.

3780 Locke And Hobbes On Property - A Natural Right? This paper discusses property as discussed by John Locke and Thomas Hobbes. It focuses mainly on the latter's views, but uses Hobbes as a point of comparison. In his "Two Treatises of Government" (1690), Locke sets forth a view that the state exists to preserve national rights of citizens. This was significant in his views on property, as we will see. Property is inherently the joining of the earth - which is common to all men - and the application of one's body - or his/her labor. The fruit of that union is considered property by Locke, who goes onto argue that property was, therefore, a natural right. Hobbes, on the other hand, argued that property was the effect of the commonwealth, which exists only through civil laws given by the sovereign. This essay will argue that Locke's account of the methods of and limits of property acquisition in the state of nature differ from those of Hobbes. Locke argued that property was a natural right; Hobbes did not. 7 pgs. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

4051 John Locke and Education: Social Virtue as Reform. This paper explores the ways in which John Locke's essay on education can be read in the contexts of modern schools and education.

Since Locke writes of education as a life-long process, it follows that personal character plays a role in learning and teaching. In this essay, the qualities of social virtues and social relations are re-situated in contexts of schooling, from curriculum to administration. 9 pgs. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
