Question

Explain the views of locke on human nature

Answer 1

Answer:

Locke's rationale is that since the fundamental law of nature is that mankind be preserved and since that law would “be in vain” with no human power to enforce it, it must therefore be legitimate for individuals to punish each other even before government exists.

Answer 2

Answer:

Unlike Thomas Hobbes, Locke believed that human nature is characterised by reason and tolerance. Like Hobbes, Locke believed that human nature allowed people to be selfish. In a natural state, all people were equal and independent, and everyone had a natural right to defend his "life, health, liberty, or possessions."
