Tom Palmer Print Edition Libertarianism Without Inequality , by Michael Otsuka, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 180 pages, $39.95 People fight about love and lucre. They also fight about labels. A little tussle is under way right now among academic political theorists over the label libertarian Advocates of massive redistribution who seek to make every property title subject to expropriation have decided they want to be known as "libertarians." Since it's hard to appropriate a label outright, they're willing to share it: They have taken to calling themselves "left libertarians," to distinguish themselves from "right libertarians." One of them, Philippe van Parijs, uses the term "real libertarianism," because he feels real liberty is about doing whatever you want to do, which means you have a right to be comfortably supported by others, even if you are able-bodied but refuse to produce anything and instead spend all your time surfing and hanging out.

John Locke Biography Excerpt: John Locke was an Oxford scholar, medical researcher and physician, political operative, economist and idealogue for a revolutionary movement, as well as being one of the great philosophers of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century. His monumental Essay Concerning Human Understanding aims to determine the limits of human understanding. Earlier writers such as Chillingworth had argued that human understanding was limited, Locke tries to determine what those limits are. We can, he thinks, know with certainty that God exists. We can also know about morality with the same precision we know about mathematics, because we are the creators of moral and political ideas. In regard to natural substances we can know only the appearances and not the underlying realities which produce those appearances. Still, the atomic hypothesis with its attendant distinction between primary and secondary qualities is the most plausible available hypothesis...

The commonwealth seems to me to be a society of men constituted only for the procuring, preserving, and advancing their own civil interests. Civil interests I call life, liberty, health, and indolency of body; and the possession of outward things, such as money, lands, houses, furniture, and the like. It is the duty of the civil magistrate, by the impartial execution of equal laws, to secure unto all the people in general and to every one of his subjects in particular the just possession of these things belonging to this life. If anyone presume to violate the laws of public justice and equity, established for the preservation of those things, his presumption is to be checked by the fear of punishment, consisting of the deprivation or diminution of those civil interests, or goods, which otherwise he might and ought to enjoy. But seeing no man does willingly suffer himself to be punished by the deprivation of any part of his goods, and much less of his liberty or life, therefore, is the magistrate armed with the force and strength of all his subjects, in order to the punishment of those that violate any other man's rights. Now that the whole jurisdiction of the magistrate reaches only to these civil concernments, and that all civil power, right and dominion, is bounded and confined to the only care of promoting these things; and that it neither can nor ought in any manner to be extended to the salvation of souls, these following considerations seem unto me abundantly to demonstrate.

Extractions: Alfred Weber Table of Contents § 57. John Locke THE author of the work criticised by Leibniz, JOHN LOCKE, was born at Wrington in Somersetshire. A fellow-countryman of Occam and the two Bacons, he shows the anti-mystical and positivistic tendencies common to English philosophy. The study of medicine revealed to him the barrenness of scholastic learning. What, in his opinion, perpetuated the traditions of a priori speculation and the ignorance of reality, was the Platonic doctrine of innate metaphysical, moral, and religious truths, teachings which RALPH CUDWORTH and Descartes himself had undertaken to defend. The fact is, if truth is native to the mind, it is useless to search for it outside by observation and experimentation. Then we may, by means of a priori speculation, meditation, and reasoning, evolve it from our own inner consciousness, as the spider spins its web out of itself. This hypothesis Descartes consistently carries out when he "closes his eyes and stops his ears," and abstracts from everything acquired by the senses; but he ceases to be consistent when he assiduously devotes himself to the study of anatomy and physiology. Indeed, the favorite method of the metaphysics of the monasteries and universities was to close one's eyes, to stop one's ears, and to ignore the real world. This method prevailed as long as the conviction existed that our ideas have their source within us. Hence, it was necessary, in order to make the philosophers "open their eyes to the real world," to prove to them that all our ideas come to us from without, through the medium of sensation: it was necessary to demonstrate that our ideas are not innate but acquired.

This tract was published in 1690 in order to justify the British Whig Revolution of 1688 and laid some of the main foundations for the American Revolution of 1776. Additionally, the constitutional and cultural life of the United States was also deeply influenced by Locke's Letter on Toleration (1689), which argued for the necessity of separating Church and State.

Extractions: Chapter 19. Of the Dissolution of Government 1. It having been shown in the foregoing discourse: Firstly. That Adam had not, either by natural right of fatherhood or by positive donation from God, any such authority over his children, nor dominion over the world, as is pretended. Secondly. That if he had, his heirs yet had no right to it. Thirdly. That if his heirs had, there being no law of Nature nor positive law of God that determines which is the right heir in all cases that may arise, the right of succession, and consequently of bearing rule, could not have been certainly determined. Fourthly. That if even that had been determined, yet the knowledge of which is the eldest line of Adam's posterity being so long since utterly lost, that in the races of mankind and families of the world, there remains not to one above another the least pretence to be the eldest house, and to have the right of inheritance. All these promises having, as I think, been clearly made out, it is impossible that the rulers now on earth should make any benefit, or derive any the least shadow of authority from that which is held to be the fountain of all power, "Adam's private dominion and paternal jurisdiction"; so that he that will not give just occasion to think that all government in the world is the product only of force and violence, and that men live together by no other rules but that of beasts, where the strongest carries it, and so lay a foundation for perpetual disorder and mischief, tumult, sedition, and rebellion (things that the followers of that hypothesis so loudly cry out against), must of necessity find out another rise of government, another original of political power, and another way of designing and knowing the persons that have it than what Sir Robert Filmer hath taught us.

Extractions: John Locke was a British philosopher who is largely responsible for modern conceptions of empiricism. Locke argued in his book An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690) that all of our ideas are derived from sense experiences. Thus, whenever someone is born, they are born with their mind being a blank slate, a tabula rasa . All knowledge is then acquired a posteriori and none exists a priori . Thus, knowledge is necessarily limited and provisional in nature. Locke's arguments were generally well received, but he made sure that nothing on his political views was published with his name on it. In his Two Treatises of Civil Government , published anonymously in 1690, he argued that all human rights are based upon one's interest in one's own property. A government is therefore justified insofar as it must exist regulate property relations among the citizens and can only exist so long as it has the consent of the governed. He thus provided an important argument justifying the principle of majority rule and his Second Treatise is the starting point for all modern defenses of democracy.

After studying medicine at Oxford,Locke served the Earl of Shaftesbury as a physician, and followed him toFrance in 1675. There he spent four years studying Continentalphilosophy, especially that of Descartes. On his return, Locke worked with Shaftesbury to block thesuccession of James, Duke of York, later James II, from thethrone a controversial issue since the Restoration of Charles II . They were unsuccessful, andboth were forced to flee England: Locke lived in Holland from1683 until James II's overthrow in 1689. In the following year appeared Locke's most important work, AnEssay Concerning Humane Understanding . The central concernof the Essay is epistemology, the means by which we cometo knowledge. Locke argued against the idea of "innate ideas,"arguing instead that the mind is analogous to a blank slate, a tabula rasa , on which the senses make impressions: theimportance of such experience in his philosophy is the origin ofthe term empirical Sensory experience, though, provides only one kind of idea,sensation;
