Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: One of the more controversial issues in recent Lockean scholarship concerns the meaning of Locke’s repeated assertions in the Second Treatise to the effect that “every man has a property in his own person.” Locke’s meaning is obscured by the apparent contradiction this assertion introduces when considered in conjunction with his famous “workmanship argument” in Chapter II. In this earlier passage, Locke declares human beings to be the property of “one omnipotent, and infinitely wise maker…whose workmanship they are.” The manner in which these two statements are reconciled within Locke’s thought goes very far towards determining the relationship between Locke and the Christian natural law tradition on the one hand (especially St. Thomas Aquinas and Hooker) and the Hobbesian natural rights doctrine on the other. Indeed, the most widespread and influential interpretations of Locke’s political thought may be broadly defined by their attempts to make sense of this apparent contradiction. I argue that Locke need not have perceived any contradiction between these two statements, and that a hitherto unnoticed means of reconciling them is implicit in Locke’s thought.
