John Locke’s understanding of justice
Philosophy
Keywords:
justice, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, law of nature, social contract, propertyAbstract
The reconstruction of Locke’s understanding of justice is the main goal of this research. In research notes that in Lockean philosophy the controversion between natural state and political state is not so radical as in philosophy of Hobbes. For Locke, the difference between the states consist in presence (or absence) of force mechanisms for realization of principles of justice. Locke establishes the close connection between principles of justice and reason demands which have the universal ethic and law character. This position will be developed in Kant philosophy.References
