Today’s political controversy over immigration highlights the plight of the working class in this country as perhaps no other issue has recently done. The political status of immigrants exposes the power dynamics of the “new working class,” which includes the former labor aristocracy, women, and people of color. This new working class suffers exploitation in advanced industrial countries as the social cost of capitalism’s success in a neoliberal and globalized political economy. Paradoxically, as borders become more open, they are also increasingly fortified, subjecting many workers to the suspension of law.
In this book, Kathleen Arnold analyzes the role of the state’s “prerogative power” in creating and sustaining this condition of severe inequality for the most marginalized sectors of our population in the United States. Drawing on a wide range of theoretical literature from Locke to Marx and Agamben (whose notion of “bare life” features prominently in her construal of this as a “biopolitical” era), she focuses attention especially on the values of asceticism derived from the Protestant work ethic to explain how they function as ideological justification for the exercise of prerogative power by the state.
As a counter to this repressive set of values, she develops the notion of “authentic love” borrowed from Simone de Beauvoir as a possible approach for dealing with the complex issues of exploitation in liberal democracy today.

Locke’s philosophical defense of private property has long characterized him as the proto-capitalist liberal thinker par excellence. In this paper, I engage with Locke’s argument for the right of individuals in the state of nature to appropriate land. First, I explicate Locke’s envisioned conception of the state of nature. Second, I outline his argument for private property and the provisos (limits) he sets upon that right. Third, I espouse what I view to be two of Locke’s most contentious premises, namely his supposition of the appropriative power of labour, and his formulation of the sufficiency and spoilage provisos. Additionally, I consider whether Locke can adequately defend these premises against criticisms. Lastly, I examine the effects of the invention of money on Locke’s provisos, revealing a latent tension between the demands of his normative conception of the state of nature, and his argument for the individual right to appropriate land. In the final analysis, it emerges that integral facets of Locke’s argument nullify his own provisos, rendering the provisos insufficient in fulfilling the very normative moral requirements set within his state of nature and thereby amounting to a glaring incongruity in his thinking.

In Locke’s Second Treatise of Government: Book II (1690) and Rousseau’s Social Contract (1762), both philosophers argued that humans are naturally free and equal; however, while Locke argued that human nature is brutal and must be bound by the law of nature, Rousseau stated that human nature is inherently good.

This paper aims to trace the origins of the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the European integration process. It is a transcontinental journey that connects the French and the American revolution under the achievements and the principles of the Enlightenment. It is the history of contemporary Europe, from the French Revolution to the tragedy of World War II. In the process of European integration the institutions overlap, and find in the Council of Europe, an institution larger than the European Union, the moment in which these rights are codified. These principles, which are the basis of European values, have been embodied in the European Convention on Human Rights, one of the most advanced instruments on the protection of fundamental human rights.

This thesis analyses the role of theology in the birth of classical liberal political philosophy in the West. It aims to show that, like every system of ideas, liberalism is indebted to theology and metaphysics, and that Christian theology has played a major role in the birth thereof. It eventually argues that in the early modern age, liberal political theory was grounded on very basic premises that were borrowed from Christian
theology.

Does toleration depend on religious skepticism? This article attempts to answer this question by uncovering a foundational ambiguity in John Locke's theological teaching. In his Letter on Toleration, Locke presents toleration as a Christian duty grounded in man's obligation to search for religious truth. But the argument of the Letter proves to be incomplete, and is itself interwoven with Locke's skeptical epistemological assumptions, which Locke increasingly emphasizes in his decade-long debate with his Anglican critic Jonas Proast as well as in his Essay concerning Human Understanding. This article shows that in in his most popularly oriented theological-political work Locke deliberately mutes the obstacles that epistemic uncertainty poses to the quest for religious truth, in order to avoid the promotion of religious indifference and unbelief. Locke pursues this strategy not just for rhetorical but also for substantive reasons, since it makes his political legacy more congenial to a civil religion that can support liberalism.

When referring to ‘trust’ in seventeenth-century English political thought, we generally have in mind John Locke as he who employed this concept in a new and original way to describe the relations between governed and governors in his Second Treatise (1690). It is less known that ‘trust’ constituted a key issue in political controversies as much as theoretical debates throughout the century. In order to illustrate this point, my chapter focuses, first, on the context of the Petition of Right (1628) when fierce opposition to absolute monarchy was shaped by the idea that MPs had been entrusted by their constituencies to patriotically defend the rights of freeborn Englishmen. Through the works of Filmer and others, the response to these attacks on the royal prerogative was couched in the language of patriarchalism, which entailed a completely different conception of ‘trust’. Second, the chapter shows how a significant portion of English political writing discussed the untrustworthy nature of the people and articulated a strong critique of democracy/popular government as a regime which could not be trusted due to the fickle and irrational ‘many-headed multitude’ ruling the roost in it. Together with paying attention to the role of the Jesuits as a quintessentially mendacious and politically subversive group, my chapter elucidates through the examination of different sources the interplay between trust and happiness which informed much political practice as well as reflection in early modern England.

The eighteenth century witnessed the historical change from aesthetic instrumentalism to aesthetic autonomy. Aesthetic research has often attempted to capture this change in teleological terms, wherein British aesthetic instrumentalism appears to contain the seeds of its own decline. The purpose of this article is to restore a balance between these two major historical modes of appreciating art, and to display the uniqueness of British aesthetic instrumentalism. During especially the first half of the eighteenth century, aesthetic instrumentalism was revitalised due to a new rationale for art in the reinforcement of a national body politic and in the strengthening of a British identity. In order to recognise the distinctiveness of aesthetic instrumentalism, as well as to acknowledge by what means it operated, I make essentially two claims: (1) aesthetic instrumentalism rediscovered its effective interaction with a national body politic by exploring a possible nexus between Britain and classical antiquity, and (2) although the philosophy of art advanced by Joseph Addison (1672–1719) frequently is held as a possible commencement of aesthetic autonomy, it was, first and foremost, characterised by a systematic aesthetic instrumentalism intended to reinforce the British body politic.

Adam Smith closes the first chapter to Theory of Moral Sentiments, 'Of Sympathy', with a harmless enough assertion: 'We sympathize even with the dead'. Death is not a topic that much interests Smith in Theory of Moral Sentiments. With the exception of a few miscellaneous thoughts in the text, the one paragraph Smith devotes to it is the extent of his interest. It is, however, a matter of interest in his Glasgow lectures on jurisprudence. To the extent we wish to observe the rights of the dead, how far may we extend these rights without infringing upon the rights of the living? Which is the question: what are the demands the dead may make upon the living?

Although its origins stem from theological debates, the general will would ultimately become one of the most celebrated and denigrated concepts emerging from early modern political thought. Jean-Jacques Rousseau would make it the central element of his political theory, and it would take on a life of its own during the French Revolution before being subjected to generations of embrace or opprobrium. James Farr and David Lay Williams have collected for the first time a set of essays that track the evolving history of the general will from its origins to recent times. These essays include attention to the general will’s theological, political, formal, and substantive dimensions with a careful eye to the concept’s virtues and limitations as understood by its expositors and critics, among them Pascal, Malebranche, Locke, Spinoza, Montesquieu, Constant, Tocqueville, Adam Smith, and John Rawls.
