Abstract

This paper discusses the configuration of the property notion in the writings of John Locke (1632-1704), especially in the Two Treatises of Government, published in 1689/90, with emphasis on the Second Treatise. This approach, besides contextualizing the author’s writing and thought, relates the events and concepts in the perspective of political philosophy. Locke is an outstanding representative of the time England was experiencing the exultant consecration of capitalism. The political and economical changes occurring in the country when bourgeoisie was affirming its supremacy and predominance over business, politics and thinking are present in Locke’s reflections on property and state.
