Machiavelli and Hobbes invite God from political philosophy and base politics on secularity. It is generally believed that Locke’s political philosophy is to criticize the concept of divinity of monarchy. Like his predecessors, Locke seeks political basis in the secular world. This is based on the text. But we believe that God has a special place in Locke’s political philosophy.

Let’s start with his ethics. Locke’s ethics is unified with his epistemology. His whiteboard theory holds that human beings have no innate cognitive principles. Similarly, in ethics, human beings also have no innate practical principles. “Seeking profits and avoiding disadvantages” is not the principle of human’s natural practice, because it is only a “constant and universal tendency… It’s not the impression of truth in understanding. (Human Understanding: P30) This means that moral rules are not only valuable for their own sake, but “need to be proved” (Human Understanding: P30). This is Locke’s conformity theory in moral philosophy. In epistemology, since there is no innate truth and experience is deterministic, truth should be realistic in Locke’s view. Furthermore, in ethics, moral principles also need proof. “Benefits and disadvantages” is a reference experience. When we say that people have a natural tendency to seek benefits and avoid disadvantages, we have already involved experience, so seeking benefits and avoiding disadvantages is not a natural practice principle.

There are a few key principles that the book Two Treatise of Government represents:

Natural state. Human beings were originally in a purely natural state. Natural state is a state of complete freedom and equality. Natural law plays a dominant role in the natural state. Rationality, that is, natural law, teaches all human beings to obey rationality intentionally: since people are equal and independent, no one can infringe upon the lives, health, freedom and property of others. In the state of nature, the enforcement right of natural law belongs to everyone, that is to say, everyone has the right to punish those who violate natural law. This right of punishment is not unlimited, it is limited to the prevention of violations of natural law.

The origin of political society. Natural life is so beautiful. Why do people join the political society and be bound by political power? This is because there are three kinds of defects in the natural state: firstly, in the natural state, there is a lack of a formulated, stable and well-known law, which is the common standard of right and wrong and the common yardstick for judging all disputes between them. Secondly, In the natural state, there is a lack of a well-known and impartial judge who has the power to adjudicate all disputes in accordance with the established law. Thirdly, In the natural state, there is often a lack of power to support the correct judgment and make it properly enforced. Therefore, people are willing to give up the right of punishment which they exercise independently and leave
