Thought of the Week

by Sean Doherty

A more accurate title for this posting might be philosophy of the week - this quote coming from John Locke. I’m interested to know how readers interpret, and what readers take away from, this quote. Liberals, Conservatives, Moderates, Deeply Religious, anti-organized religion, etc. We all have valid points of view though we may not agree. So please leave a comment with your feedback, you can even leave it anonymously!

“To avoid this state of war is one great reason of men’s putting themselves into society and quitting the state of nature. For where there is an authority, a power on earth, from which relief can be had by appeal, there the continuance of the sate of war is excluded, and the controversy is decided by that power.” -John Locke
