註釋

Nevertheless, I believe that the picture that I draw of Locke as the fountainhead of classical liberal political thinking both captures the essence of Locke as a normative political theorist and reveals a good deal of the character and plausibility of the classical liberal vision. [...] They include the nature and sanctity of human freedom, the relationship between respect for freedom and the maintenance of social order, the basis and scope of justified toleration, the justifying purpose of government, and the fundamental limits (if any) on governmental authority. [...] The second premise for Hobbes' conclusion that the state of nature is a state of war of all upon all is that there are no moral or legal rules-no principles of justice-in the state of nature. [...] However, before examining what Locke calls the "inconveniences" of the state of nature and the ways in which our freedoms can be better delineated and protected by exiting the state of nature, we must examine in chapter 3 the arguments that Locke offers for why all individuals are born to a natural right to freedom and in chapter 4 the account that Locke provides for people's acquisi- tion of just.
