Adam’s Title to Sovereignty by the Subjection of Eve” in John Locke’s Two Treatises of Government‚ I argue that John Locke is a feminist. Locke acknowledges Eve’s – who serves at the representation of all women – important biblical recognition‚ confesses to her Dominion over mankind‚ gave her equal authority‚ if not more‚ over children‚ and briefly addresses her power to access property. Although economic free is beyond the scope of this paper‚ Locke illuminates all characteristics of modern-day feminism

Enlightenment thinker that I most agree with is John Locke. I most agree with him because he concurs with Hobbes about the severity of the condition of nature‚ which obliges a social contract to guarantee peace.

Locke additionally couldn’t help contradicting Hobbes

1. John Locke was a proponent of the separation of church and state. Locke mentions the differences between civil government and the church. The government’s primary goal is to protect external interests‚ such as life and liberty. The church‚ on the other hand‚ protects internal interests‚ such as salvation.
