JOHN LOCKE AFTER 300 YEARS
No full textJohn Locke was a seminal figure in political philosophy and political economy and this year marks the tercentenary of his death. The paper focuses on the classical liberal interpretation of Locke. In this view, Locke defends individualism, natural rights (especially to property) and minimal government. After sketching this interpretation, I will present some extensions and applications of that interpretation. With this background in mind, I then turn to the views of critics who have claimed that Locke's individualism has been exaggerated and that Lockean rights are not absolute (they must be balanced against duties). Then I address the view of those who see Locke as a defender not of minimal government but of a more muscular (albeit limited) government. I then provide a brief conclusion.Political Economy,
Personal identity and human animals: a new history and theory
No full textThe contemporary personal identity debate has divided into two entrenched positions. One supports the supposedly naive and unpopular Bodily Criterion (the view that personal identity requires physical continuity). The other school is the Psychological Criterion (the view that personal identity requires psychological continuity). This has acquired the status of virtual orthodoxy. The British Empiricists, John Locke and David Hume, are both supposed to give historical weight to this orthodoxy. This thesis argues this is a dramatic misrepresentation of history. Locke is supposed to found the personal identity debate in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding, arguing that personal identity is sameness of consciousness. It is argued that Locke in fact responds to a prevalent Cartesian View, called here the Compositional Account. The Compositional Account is the belief that a Human Being is composed of a Mind and a Body. Hume, in responding to Locke, is also responding to the Compositional Account. In opposition to widely established readings both philosophers are argued to be highly sympathetic to the Compositional Account. Chapter 1 establishes Descartes' version of the Compositional Account and explains why Descartes needs no philosophical treatment of personal identity. These problems emerge only for the Empiricists, Locke and Hume. Locke's sympathies for the Compositional Account are established in Chapter 2, drawing on material prior to the Essay and normally uncited passages in the Essay. Chapter 3 argues that Hume presumed the Compositional Account in his Treatise Concerning Human Nature. This is argued to explain Hume's famous later recantation of his theory. The thesis concludes by sketching a role for the Compositional Account in contemporary debate. The Compositional Account is argued to give strong support to a recently developed position known as Animalism. This provides the conceptual materials to move beyond the orthodox dichotomy between the Bodily Criterion and the Psychological Criterion
Whose Fundamental Constitutions? Locke, Slavery, & Manuscript Evidence
No full textThis article uses the methods that Locke advocated in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding to evaluate manuscript evidence from five different schemes and two drafts of the Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina, to thereby determine what role, if any, John Locke had in writing it, and in advocating for slavery and absolutism. It focuses on the influential claims put forward by David Armitage 20 years ago, that Locke was responsible for actively promoting slavery in Carolina’s Fundamental Constitutions. It enables the reader to view, and judge, the relevant evidence. The author concludes, and invites the reader to conclude, that Armitage’s main claims lack foundation in the manuscript evidence. That evidence instead points towards the legal power of those who owned Carolina, the Lords Proprietors, and to the crown, which granted Carolina’s charter, and to the logic of a different theory of government, patriarchalism, for the rationale behind both slavery and absolutism. The central ideas behind slavery and colonization were epitomized, as Locke understood, by Sir Robert Filmer, who wrote the book to which Locke responded in his Two Treatises of Government. Filmer’s ally, Sir Henry Spelman, like Filmer a deeply committed royalist who believed in the king’s unlimited prerogatives, composed the original 1629 Carolina charter that shaped the Fundamental Constitutions. Misattributing the authorship of particular clauses to Locke is a symptom of a larger failure to distinguish the impact of momentous debates over authority and race in the seventeenth century. Locke’s theories did, in practice as well as principle, reject the theory of domination put forward by Filmer, and argued instead for human rights and democracy that were inclusive and capacious. The manuscript evidence has the potential to reshape how modern democratic theory is understood in the present.https://doi.org/10.5206/ls.2024.1753

Shaftesbury, Locke, and Their Revolutionary Letter?
No full textA corrigendum for this article was published in vol. 18 of Locke Studies available here. Scholars are kindly asked to reference the corrigendum only and not this version of the article.
Late in 1675, the anonymous Letter from a Person of Quality, to His Friend in the Country was condemned in the House of Lords as a ‘dangerous Book’, indeed a ‘lying, scandalous, and seditious Book’. The Peers ordered it to be burned by the public hangman, and opened an investigation designed to discover its author, printer, and publisher. About this search and its success in tracking the author(s) down, very little is known. But as J. R. Milton and Philip Milton, who included the pamphlet in their Clarendon edition of John Locke’s Essay Concerning Toleration and his Other Writings on Law and Politics, 1667–1683, have pointed out, ‘no one has ever doubted that it was written by someone in Shaftesbury’s circle and for Shaftesbury’s purposes. John Locke, Shaftesbury’s secretary at the time, has long been a suspected collaborator in its production

No full textPage 122
1912. Dec. 16. Mond. Cloudy and rainy. Received the first Christmas gift of the season - a book from Adelaide, Calvin and John and wrote to Eureka. Dear Ada is now 55 yrs. old - in labors abundant, keeping house for her family in Oakland with Hester\u27s help, and being at the head of S.School work in Pittsburg, and helping in all church work there. Truly, she is a living sacrifice unto the work of the Kingdom. (T.S.R. 40. 2 P.M. 47. S.S. 45.)
Dec. 17. Tues. Weather and cloudy. Received photo of herself from Louise Locke, and tapa cloth from Alma Cooke, and wrote to Ada. The tapa cloth is made by the women of Hawaii from the inner bark of a tree, and is of a size suitable for a cover to a small table, and has some crude sketching upon it. We learn of the death of Mrs. B. Bryant, mother of Charles and Wayne, at Clements, whose health has for a long time been failing. So another pioneer has gone, who did well her part in early times here. (T.S.R. 40. 2 P.M. 47. S.S. 47.)
Dec. 18. Wednes. Cloudy A.M. Hannah is sick today - has over-worked. Now it is very fortunate for us that Theresa is here to take charge and to act as nurse, but hard for Theresa, with care of John Willard. But he is as good a baby as baby could be Received letter from Willie and announcement from Lizzie McLellan of the birth to Alice and Chester W. Moore of a son at British Columbia, Port Kells, on Dec, 12. So the date of his birth is 12-12\u2712, and his name is Eugene W. Moore. Lizzie was up there for the birth, it seems, her first grandchild (T.S.R. 42. 2 P.M. 51. S.S. 47.)
Dec. 19. Thurs. Morning cloudy. wrote to Alma Cooke and received gifts of guest towel and hdkf. from Etta and Mrs. Ober. (T.S.R. 40. 2 P.M. 45. S.S. 44.)
Dec. 20. Friday. The weather is chilly. Received letters from Ida, Eunice and Will Cooke, and wrote to Adelaide and Louise Locke and sent the manuscript history of Fifty Years in the Cong\u27l Church of Lockeford to each of Horace and Calvin. (T.S.R. 27. 2 P.M. 47. S.S. 44.)
Dec. 21. Sat. The north wind blows to dry up the scant moisture the rain brought. Received Post-Card from Sarah Kerr Fish and wrote to the children in the East and sent pkgs. to Susie P. Cornish, Irving Parker and Walter Locke. (T.S.R. 27. 2 P.M. 44. S.S. 43.)
Dec. 22. Sabbath. Hannah is so much better that she attended all church services, though not really able to do so. Bro. Horace came in the A.M. and Alma Locke in P.M. also Dr. Jones with Christmas gifts. (T.S.R. 26. 2 P.M. 47. S.S. 41.)

Dec. 24. Tues. The S. School Christmas Tree and Entertainment were held in our church this eve, with a musical Cantata called Crowning of Christmas, and the exercises passed off very nicely, before a large audience. Our school invited the M.E.\u27s to unite with us in the tree and exercises but they refused to do so and held theirs separately. This P.M. James Thorp arrived with Miss Cain, to make us a little visit. Miss Cain is employed to give anesthetics in St. Francis Hospital, S.F. Received a letter from Irene and Post-Card from Myrtle Hammond and wrote to Ada. (T.S.R. 26. 2 P.M. 45. S.S. 41.)
Dec. 25. Christmas. The day has been a pleasant and quite one, with only James Thorp and Miss Cain as guests to dinner. Theresa cooked a young and very nice turkey from their flock and the whole menu was very enjoyable. Horace came in this P.M. also Alma and Myrle and Edna. We were all bountifully remembered with gifts. John Willard received ten - a buggy robe, two rattles, rubber squeaky doll, crocheted sacque, beautiful white hood, blue shoes, white silk stockings, book and money deposit in Bank. Here follows a list of my gifts received: Books from Adelaide, Eunice and Ada, Tapa Cloth from Alma Cooke, Guest Towels from Etta, hdkfs. from Mrs. Ober and Florence Parkison, Tray Cloths from Susie Cornish and Theresa, Hanging Air Plant from Agnes, Calendar from Alma Locke, Stationary from Howard, Alice Locke and Nellie, Rolling-Pin from Will Moore, Japanese Hanging Basket from Miss Cain, Lace Collar from Myrle, Sofa Pillow from Ida and Photos from Irene and Louise Locke, so I was abundantly remembered.

Dec. 26. Thurs. Received letters from Willie, Ida and Eunice. (T.S.R. 27. 2 P.M. 45. S.S. 43.)
Dec. 27. Fri. THis is our coldest morning for years. Water pipes around town have burst. The pipe connecting the storage tanks for water on the roof of the store burst, and for a time we were threatened with a water famine, for Chas. Bacon has disconnected our engine from our pump with the idea of putting an electric motor in its place, so we had to depend on town water. Sent pkg. to Dean and Louise. Horace, Alice and Myrtle Hammond came in, also Alma, Alice and Nellie Locke Bergquest with baby. (T.S.R. 23. 2 P.M. 45. S.S. 43.)https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/dld-all/3177/thumbnail.jp
