Property Rights

Next two lectures uncover the intricacies of John Locke’s theories on NATURAL RIGHTS and CONSENT. Quite an interesting turn in Philosophy of Justice. However, the problem with John Locke is that borders in his ideas are a bit fuzzy. I am sharing my mind-map from the lectures as usual: Download full mind map (PDF) Summary of the lectures: Lecture 7. John Locke: Property Rights (NATURAL RIGHTS) In this lecture, the speaker discusses John Locke’s beliefs on individual rights, which include the natural rights to life, liberty, and property.

These “Justice” lectures are covering my favorite topic - Libertarianism. If I need to define my political views in one word, it would be Libertarianism. HOWEVER, when I am talking with my Libertarian acquaintances, I can call myself a “Pro-states man.” ;-) For me, it is very clear why Libertarianism is not so popular: most of the people who promote it are fanatics they try to see the world in “black and white” and close their eyes to fundamental problems.
