Theory Of The Origin Of Locke Government

As the founder of modern liberalism, John Locke plays an important role in the course of the change from classical to modern political philosophy, whose political thinking largely affected to the later generation. At present the academic circle fully affirmed the importance of his construction on political system. There are different points on Locke's theory of political innovations and argues. Some scholars criticize the historical authenticity of the origin of his government theory. In my opinion, Locke's own theory of the origin of the Government is only one of the most reasonable assumptions, it only to indicate people's life of theory, and the reality of the situation is completely opposite. Logic is one thing, history is another, logic and history is not unified. In this way , these scholars who criticize the origin of government doctrine is meaningless, because Locke, in THE SECOND TREATISE OF GOVERNMENT, had skillfully answered the this question, Locke's theory concerning government origins has not historical authenticity, but cannot therefore deny its theorical value. We must recognize that the Locke's theory of government origin in order to survey the system of government in a logic way, this assumption is a useful attempt to find a legitimate form, and from John Locke's influence on future generations, we can also see the huge value of Locke's theory.This paper is divided into three parts to explore the theory of government origin of Locke's.
