<p> In chapter five of the Second Treatise, John Locke explains that every man's natural right in his person and his person's labour gives him an exclusive right over whatever he removes from the natural common by his labour vdthout the __ consent of all the other commoners. This natural appropriation initially has two limits. First, everyone is entitled to have as much property as he can use before it spoils. Second, each appropriation must leave enough and as good in common for others. These limits give everyone direct access to nature and restrict each man's property. </p> <p> At section thirty-six of the Second Treatise, however, Locke states that the invention of money alters original appropriation. Since money does not spoil, men may acquire as much property in it as they desire with the consequence that men now begin to acquire more of everything, especially land, than they themselves can use. Soon there is no longer enough and as good land left in common for everyone. Can men move to a mode of appropriation which does not leave sufficient land in common for all?</p> <p> Leo Strauss and C. B. Macpherson argue that according to Locke, once men introduce money they consent to transcend the limits to appropriation and move to unlimited individual appropriation. James Tully and John Dunn oppose this interpretation. Dunn argues that the notion that men may acquire property without limit contradicts Locke's view that a man's labour is his way to eternal salvation. Tully argues that once the sufficiency proviso is violated, natural appropriation in the state of nature becomes disfunctional, and men must move to reconstitute in civil society the natural mode of limited appropriation. </p> <p> This study compares and contrasts the main lines of each author's argument with respect to unlimited appropriation, and how each author employs key passages in Locke's works to support his position. This reveals how key passages in Locke's works can have radically different meaning for different interpreters. Rather than attempt to arrive at a new interpretation of Locke on property, my intention is to set side by side two opposed views of the significance of Locke's theory of property, and hence systematize a small part of the vast body of literature on Locke on property.</p> / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

This study offers a close, interdisciplinary reading of several specific instances in which health and sickness were discussed or considered by Locke and his contemporaries. Medical historians have long known that Locke was a medical adviser and practitioner of sorts, and his medical 'cases' have traditionally been scrutinised for details of his medical career and for details of past illnesses and treatments, read against a context of specifically medical thought. In a departure from that tradition, this study presents several of Locke's health-related interactions in their contemporary social contexts, These contexts are not exclusively medical, and it is shown how health issues overlapped with and permeated discussions of land, literature, gender, politics and religion. Focussing on specific micro-historical scenes, this study explores the myriad ways in which health was configured in Locke's world. In this study, we see Locke engaged in presenting the health of a colony in Carolina in America; employed in the management of Anthony Ashley Cooper's festering abscess; writing to the Fletchers of Saltoun about nature-hastening medicines and ignorant practitioners; subduing rumours about Matthew Slade, a mentally unstable scholarly friend; helping Elizabeth Northumberland to describe her searing pains, and more. In this thesis, stories of health from Locke's world are interwoven with similar short scenes of health from his published works to show the reader how Locke himself considered health-related scenes stimulating and illuminating.
