This article offers a rejoinder to Felix Waldmann. In a critical note published in Locke Studies, Waldmann challenges our recent reconstruction of Locke’s thesis, developed across the Second Treatise of Government, that humans cannot possibly agree to subject themselves to absolute rule. Call this thesis No Contractual Absolutism. Our reconstruction, Waldmann objects, “neglects a basic datum of scholarship”: i.e., that Locke’s Second Treatise intended to counter Filmer’s political theory. Our reply is two-pronged. First, we argue that No Contractual Absolutism cannot plausibly be construed as an attack on Filmer, since it challenges a thesis that he did not hold. Indeed, as for him no form of government can be contractual in origin, Filmer would have agreed with Locke that absolute rule cannot be instituted by agreement. As our initial article suggested, the standard view about whom the polemical target is of the Second Treatise requires qualification with respect to No Contractual Absolutism. Second, we contend that Waldmann’s concerns rest on discipline-specific methodological assumptions, which are unhelpful for the kind of analytical reconstruction we advanced. We conclude with a plea for methodological pluralism in the study of Locke’s thought.
本文对费利克斯·沃尔德曼的观点进行了反驳。在《洛克研究》(Locke Studies)上发表的一篇评论文章中,瓦尔德曼挑战了我们最近对洛克在《政府论第二篇》(Second Treatise of Government)中提出的论点的重建,即人类不可能同意将自己置于绝对统治之下。把这篇论文称为“无契约绝对主义”。瓦尔德曼反对说,我们的重建“忽略了学术研究的一个基本基础”:即洛克的《政府论第二篇》意在反驳菲尔默的政治理论。我们的回答是双管齐下的。首先,我们认为无契约绝对主义不能被合理地解释为对菲尔默的攻击,因为它挑战了他并不持有的论点。事实上,对于他来说,没有任何形式的政府可以起源于契约,菲尔默会同意洛克的观点,即绝对统治不能通过协议来建立。正如我们最初的文章所建议的那样,关于《政府论第二篇》的争论目标是谁的标准观点需要对“无契约绝对主义”进行限定。其次,我们认为,瓦尔德曼的关注是建立在学科特定的方法论假设上的,这对我们提出的分析重建是没有帮助的。最后,我们呼吁在研究洛克的思想时采用方法论的多元主义。

Improvement as the Foundation of Liberty 进步是自由的基础
Pub Date : 2022-07-20 DOI: 10.5206/ls.2021.11110
Masanori Kashiwazaki
Many researchers have addressed the question of whether Locke’s individuals are fundamentally self-interested or motivated by the common good. This paper approaches this question by focusing on his views on labour, labourers, industry, and improvement. This approach reveals that Locke envisaged a community whose members are not only concerned with securing individual rights and self-interest, or with performing extra-civic or God-given duties, but should also be motivated to make efforts to improve both material and moral life. To him, labour represented the common capacities of mankind to make use of their “heads” and “hands” industriously, and to thus contribute to one another by making their lives better. Locke’s individuals are active members of society, regardless of status or class. His inclusion of the labouring poor as equal contributors marks the break with humanist political discourse on the one hand, and with the Protestant idea of calling on the other.
许多研究人员已经提出了洛克的个人是否从根本上是自利的还是被共同利益所激励的问题。本文将从他对劳动、劳动者、工业和进步的看法出发来探讨这个问题。这种方法揭示了洛克设想的一个社会,其成员不仅关心保障个人权利和自身利益,或履行公民以外的或上帝赋予的义务,而且还应该受到激励,努力改善物质和道德生活。对他来说,劳动代表了人类勤劳地使用他们的“头”和“手”的共同能力,从而通过使他们的生活更美好而相互贡献。洛克的个人是社会的积极成员,无论地位或阶级如何。他将劳动穷人视为平等的贡献者,这一方面标志着与人文主义政治话语的决裂,另一方面也标志着与新教呼吁的思想的决裂。

Liberty and Suspension in Locke’s Essay 洛克随笔中的自由与悬置
Pub Date : 2022-07-19 DOI: 10.5206/ls.2021.13972
Matthew A. Leisinger
I argue for two controversial claims about Locke’s account of liberty in Essay 2.21. The first claim is that Locke does not identify liberty with freedom of action. Instead, Locke places further conditions on liberty beyond to the power to perform or forbear an action at will. The second (and closely related) claim is that Locke takes the power to suspend and examine desire to be necessary for liberty—in other words, that possession of the power to suspend and examine desire is one such further condition upon liberty.
关于洛克在论文2.21中对自由的描述,我提出了两个有争议的观点。第一种观点是洛克没有将自由等同于行动自由。相反,洛克把更多的条件放在自由之上,而不是随意执行或放弃行动的权力。第二个(与此密切相关的)主张是,洛克认为暂停和检查欲望的权力是自由的必要条件——换句话说,拥有暂停和检查欲望的权力是自由的进一步条件之一。

Sarah Cowper's "Character" of John Locke 莎拉·考伯的《约翰·洛克的性格
Pub Date : 2022-06-21 DOI: 10.5206/ls.2021.11009
M. Goldie
Lady Sarah Cowper (1644-1720) is best known for her commonplace books, which preserve unique and variant versions of poems by Restoration “wits.” She also kept a diary, in which she recorded her readings and meditations. The diary contains an unnoticed encomiastic “Character” of John Locke, composed at his death. It is one of the earliest obituaries of him, but it was commonplaced from other sources. Her use of her sources exemplifies aspects of the manuscript circulation of texts and the ways in which the active selection and redaction of textual material reflected a reader’s own religious, political, and personal preoccupations. Cowper portrays Locke as a moral exemplar and Christian virtuoso, whose orthodoxy she defends, and whose latitudinarian and Whig commitments she shares.
莎拉·考伯夫人(1644-1720)以她的普通书籍而闻名,这些书保存了复辟时期“智者”的独特和不同版本的诗歌。她还写日记,记录她的阅读和冥想。日记中有一段未被注意到的对约翰·洛克的“性格”的赞美,是他死后写的。这是他最早的讣告之一,但它在其他来源中很常见。她对资料来源的使用体现了文本手稿流通的各个方面,以及文本材料的积极选择和修订反映读者自己的宗教、政治和个人关注的方式。柯帕将洛克描绘成一个道德模范和基督教大师,她捍卫了洛克的正统,并分享了洛克的自由主义和辉格主义。

A Defense of Locke’s Moral Epistemology 洛克道德认识论的辩护
Pub Date : 2021-01-23 DOI: 10.5206/LS.2020.8249
Jamie Hardy
In An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, John Locke provides an empirical account of all of our ideas, including our moral ideas. However, Locke’s account of moral epistemology is difficult to understand leading to mistaken objections to his moral epistemological theory. In this paper, I offer what I believe to be the correct account of Locke’s moral epistemology. This account of his moral epistemology resolves the objections that morality is not demonstrable, that Locke’s account fails to demonstrate the normativity of statements, and that Locke has not provided us with the means to determine the correctness of the moral rules. 
在《论人类理解》一书中,约翰·洛克对我们所有的观念,包括我们的道德观念,提供了一个经验性的解释。然而,洛克对道德认识论的阐述是难以理解的,这导致了对他的道德认识论理论的错误反对。在本文中,我提供了我认为是洛克道德认识论的正确解释。他的道德认识论解决了反对意见,即道德是不可证明的,洛克的解释未能证明陈述的规范性,洛克没有为我们提供确定道德规则正确性的方法。

Locke on the Probability of the Mind's Immateriality 洛克论心灵非物质性的可能性
Pub Date : 2021-01-21 DOI: 10.5206/LS.2020.10677
S. Rickless
For many years, there has been a vibrant debate about whether Locke is friendly or hostile to the proposition that the mind is a material thing. On the one hand, there are passages in which Locke tells us that it is probable that the mind is immaterial. On the other hand, there are passages in which Locke expressly allows for the possibility that matter, suitably arranged, could be given the power to think. It is no surprise, then, that some scholars assume that Locke is a dualist, while other scholars think that Locke is a materialist. Yet others think that Locke studiously tries to remain completely agnostic about the nature of mind. Taking the relevant primary sources and secondary literature into account, I argue that Locke takes it to be more probable than not that the mind is immaterial.
多年来,关于洛克是赞成还是反对精神是一种物质的观点一直存在着激烈的争论。一方面,洛克在一些段落中告诉我们,心灵很可能是非物质的。另一方面,在一些段落中,洛克明确地允许物质的可能性,适当地安排,可以被赋予思考的能力。因此,毫不奇怪,一些学者认为洛克是一位二元论者,而另一些学者则认为洛克是一位唯物主义者。然而另一些人认为洛克故意试图保持对心灵本质的完全不可知论。考虑到相关的第一手资料和二手文献,我认为洛克认为思想是非物质的可能性更大。

Christian Antiquity and the Anglican Reception of John Locke’s Paraphrase and Notes on the Epistles of St Paul, 1707–1730 基督教的古代和英国圣公会对约翰·洛克对圣保罗书信的释义和注释的接受,1707-1730

The study of John Locke’s theological thought has yet to be combined with emerging historical research, pioneered by Jean-Louis Quantin, into the apologetic uses of Christian antiquity in the Restoration Church of England. This article will address this historiographical lacuna by making two related arguments. First, I will contend that Locke’s Paraphrase and Notes on the Epistles of St. Paul (1705–1707) marked a definitive shift in his critique of the appeal to Christian antiquity. Prior to 1700, Locke had largely contested these references to the precedent of the early Christian Church by making a narrowly philosophical case against arguments from authority in general. However, the controversial reception of Locke’s theological writings in the 1690s, compelled him to develop historical and methodological arguments in the Paraphrase against the witness of Christian antiquity. Secondly, I will argue that Locke’s repudiation of the witness of Christian antiquity was the primary motivation for the diverse responses to the Paraphrase by early eighteenth-century Anglican writers, such as Robert Jenkin, Daniel Whitby, William Whiston, Winch Holdsworth and Catharine Cockburn.  
对约翰·洛克神学思想的研究还没有与让-路易斯·昆特恩开创的新兴历史研究结合起来,研究英国复辟教会对基督教古代的护教用途。本文将通过提出两个相关的论点来解决这一史学上的空白。首先,我认为洛克的《圣保罗书信释义和注释》(1705-1707)标志着他对基督教古代吸引力的批评的决定性转变。在1700年之前,洛克对早期基督教会的先例提出了很大的质疑,他提出了一个狭隘的哲学案例,反对一般权威的论点。然而,在17世纪90年代,洛克神学著作的争议性接受,迫使他在《释义》中发展历史和方法论的论点,反对基督教古代的见证。其次,我将论证洛克对基督教古代见证的否定是18世纪早期圣公会作家对《释义》的不同回应的主要动机,这些作家包括罗伯特·詹金、丹尼尔·惠特比、威廉·惠斯顿、温奇·霍尔兹沃思和凯瑟琳·考克伯恩。

Secondary Qualities as Dispositions 作为性格的次要品质
Pub Date : 2021-01-15 DOI: 10.5206/LS.2020.10799
Nathan Rockwood
In this paper I will defend the view that, according to Locke, secondary qualities are dispositions to produce sensations in us. Although this view is widely attributed to Locke, this interpretation needs defending for two reasons. First, commentators often assume that secondary qualities are dispositional properties because Locke calls them “powers” to produce sensations. However, primary qualities are also powers, so the powers locution is insufficient grounds for justifying the dispositionalist interpretation. Second, if secondary qualities are dispositional properties, then objects would retain secondary qualities while not being observed, but Locke says that colors “vanish” in the dark. Some commentators use this as evidence that Locke rejects the dispositionalist view of secondary qualities, and even those that are sympathetic to the traditional interpretation find these comments to be problematic. By contrast, I argue that even in these supposedly damning passages Locke shows an unwavering commitment to the view that the powers to produce sensations in us, i.e., the secondary qualities, remain in objects even when they are not being perceived. Thus, the arguments against the traditional interpretation are unpersuasive, and we should conclude that Locke does indeed hold that secondary qualities are dispositions to cause sensations in us.
在本文中,我将为洛克的观点辩护,根据洛克的观点,次要品质是我们产生感觉的倾向。尽管这一观点被广泛认为是洛克的观点,但出于两个原因,这种解释需要辩护。首先,评论家通常认为次要品质是性格属性,因为洛克称它们为产生感觉的“力量”。然而,初级品质也是权力,因此权力的说法不足以作为配置主义解释的依据。其次,如果次要性质是性情性质,那么物体在不被观察的情况下会保留次要性质,但洛克说颜色在黑暗中“消失”。一些评论家以此作为证据,证明洛克拒绝了次要品质的配置主义观点,甚至那些同情传统解释的人也发现这些评论是有问题的。相比之下,我认为,即使在这些被认为是诅咒的段落中,洛克也表现出了对这种观点的坚定承诺,即在我们体内产生感觉的力量,即次要品质,即使在物体没有被感知的时候,它们仍然存在。因此,反对传统解释的论点是没有说服力的,我们应该得出结论,洛克确实认为次要品质是引起我们感觉的倾向。

Reconciling Locke’s Consciousness-Based Theory of Personal Identity and His Soteriology 洛克以意识为基础的人格同一性理论与他的救赎论的调和
Pub Date : 2020-06-19 DOI: 10.5206/ls.2020.7321
Diego Lucci
This article maintains that Locke’s consciousness-based theory of personal identity, which Locke expounded in book 2, chapter 27 of the second edition of An Essay concerning Human Understanding (1694), perfectly fits with his views on the resurrection of the dead, the Last Judgment, and salvation. The compatibility of Locke’s theory of personal identity with his soteriology has been questioned by Udo Thiel and Galen Strawson. These two authors have claimed that Locke’s emphasis on repentance, which he described as necessary to salvation in The Reasonableness of Christianity (1695), clashes with his notion of punishment as annexed to personality and, hence, to consciousness. Pace Thiel and Strawson, I argue that Locke’s theory of personal identity is compatible with his concept of repentance. To this purpose, I first explain Locke’s views on the soul’s death and the resurrection of the dead on Judgment Day, when, according to Locke, we will all be raised from death by divine miracle, but only the repentant faithful will be admitted to eternal bliss while the wicked will be annihilated. Locke’s mortalism, along with his agnosticism on the ontological constitution of thinking substances or souls, played a role in his formulation of a non-substantialist account of personal identity, because it denied the temporal continuity of the soul between physical death and resurrection and it rejected the resurrection of the same body. I then analyze Locke’s consciousness-based theory of personal identity, with a focus on the implications of this theory regarding moral accountability. Finally, I turn my attention to Thiel’s and Strawson’s considerations about Locke’s views on consciousness and repentance. To prove that Locke’s views on salvation are consistent with his theory of personal identity, I clarify Locke’s soteriology, which describes not only repentance, but also obedience, faith, and the conscientious study of Scripture as necessary to salvation.
本文认为,洛克在《论人类理解》(1694)第二版第2卷第27章阐述的以意识为基础的个人同一性理论,与他对死人复活、最后审判和救赎的观点完全吻合。洛克的个人同一性理论与他的救赎论的兼容性受到了乌多·蒂尔和盖伦·斯特劳森的质疑。这两位作者声称,洛克在《基督教的合理性》(1695)中所强调的忏悔是救赎的必要条件,这与他认为惩罚附属于人格,因此附属于意识的观点相冲突。我认为洛克的人格同一性理论与他的忏悔概念是相容的。为此,我首先解释洛克对审判日灵魂死亡和死者复活的看法,根据洛克的说法,在审判日,我们都将通过神圣的奇迹从死亡中复活,但只有忏悔的忠实者将被允许进入永恒的幸福,而邪恶的人将被消灭。洛克的死亡论,以及他对思考物质或灵魂的本体论构成的不可知论,在他对个人同一性的非实体主义描述中发挥了作用,因为它否认了灵魂在肉体死亡和复活之间的时间连续性它拒绝了同一肉体的复活。然后,我分析了洛克的基于意识的个人同一性理论,重点是这一理论在道德责任方面的含义。最后,我将注意力转向蒂尔和斯特劳森对洛克关于意识和忏悔观点的思考。为了证明洛克关于救赎的观点与他的个人同一性理论是一致的,我澄清了洛克的救赎论,它不仅描述了悔改,而且还描述了服从、信仰和认真学习圣经是救赎所必需的。
{"title":"Reconciling Locke’s Consciousness-Based Theory of Personal Identity and His Soteriology","authors":"Diego Lucci","doi":"10.5206/ls.2020.7321","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5206/ls.2020.7321","url":null,"abstract":"This article maintains that Locke’s consciousness-based theory of personal identity, which Locke expounded in book 2, chapter 27 of the second edition of An Essay concerning Human Understanding (1694), perfectly fits with his views on the resurrection of the dead, the Last Judgment, and salvation. The compatibility of Locke’s theory of personal identity with his soteriology has been questioned by Udo Thiel and Galen Strawson. These two authors have claimed that Locke’s emphasis on repentance, which he described as necessary to salvation in The Reasonableness of Christianity (1695), clashes with his notion of punishment as annexed to personality and, hence, to consciousness. Pace Thiel and Strawson, I argue that Locke’s theory of personal identity is compatible with his concept of repentance. To this purpose, I first explain Locke’s views on the soul’s death and the resurrection of the dead on Judgment Day, when, according to Locke, we will all be raised from death by divine miracle, but only the repentant faithful will be admitted to eternal bliss while the wicked will be annihilated. Locke’s mortalism, along with his agnosticism on the ontological constitution of thinking substances or souls, played a role in his formulation of a non-substantialist account of personal identity, because it denied the temporal continuity of the soul between physical death and resurrection and it rejected the resurrection of the same body. I then analyze Locke’s consciousness-based theory of personal identity, with a focus on the implications of this theory regarding moral accountability. Finally, I turn my attention to Thiel’s and Strawson’s considerations about Locke’s views on consciousness and repentance. To prove that Locke’s views on salvation are consistent with his theory of personal identity, I clarify Locke’s soteriology, which describes not only repentance, but also obedience, faith, and the conscientious study of Scripture as necessary to salvation.","PeriodicalId":165811,"journal":{"name":"Locke Studies","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125841960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
