Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The issue of “inalienable rights” forms the basis of most modern liberal democracies in the West, both in the sense that the rights precede government, and are the ends towards which government is directed. But from whence do these rights arise? Are they inherent, or imposed, arbitrary, or ephemeral? This paper enters into the rights’ dialogue by examining one aspect of the historical roots of the discussion: the biblical basis to a conception of rights in the political philosophy of John Locke. This paper will argue that Locke’s conception of property (as understood as life, liberty, and estate), is based on a biblical conception of the specific rights with which the Creator endows humanity. This is especially evident in Locke’s argument against Sir Robert Filmer’s theory of the divine right of kings, and in Locke’s historical argument of the way in which property develops from that which is held in common to a more private or individualistic notion. The biblical basis for Locke’s theory suggests that the inalienable rights are not purely “self evident” or derived from an understanding of our capacities as humans, but understood through a biblical lens which sees a benevolent Creator as endowing humans with certain rights and responsibilities.
