Episode Synopsis

Today we begin our discussion of John Locke’s 2 Treatises
on Government. We focus on the 1st treatise today, which is chiefly
about refuting Robert Filmer’s argument that kings have a divine right to rule
that can be traced back to Adam. You can guess the conclusion from the title.
