Abstract:

John Locke, who lived in England in the 17th century, has exceeded the age in which the influences of political philosophy have lived, forming the foundation of the principles on which liberal societies are based. Property is one of the topics in the center of political philosophy. Locke, in his Second Review on Government, referred to the concept of property that he claims to be derived from the state of nature to a broad meaning as "life, freedom and property". The duty of the state established by the social contract is to protect property. The purpose of the study is to explain the connection between Locke’s concept of property and the emergence of liberalism. In this context, Locke’s liberal theory has been discussed, the concept of property, the right of property, the right of resistance and the foundation of private property.
