洛克的“自然状态”理论的独特之处在于,这种自然状态受自然法的支配,而自然法就是理性法或道德法,因此,自然状态也就是有法则而有道德的关系世界,包含着一系列关于人之间的关系的法则。在此意义上,洛克的自然状态实质上是一种社会状态,而不是像霍布斯或卢梭心目中那种非社会性的状态。这意味着,政治社会是基于一个(受道德法支配的)伦理社会。 Locke’s “natural state ” theory is unique in that this natural state is dominated by the natural law, natural law is the rational law or moral law, therefore, the natural state is law and moral relationship between the world, Contains a series of rules about the relationship between people. In this sense, Locke’s natural state is essentially a social state, not a non-social state like Hobbes or Rousseau. This means that political society is based on an ethical society (governed by moral law).
