Locke Argued That a Person Could Acquire Property If He

question 31

Essay

Locke argued that a person could acquire property if he put his labor into it, used it to meet his needs, and did not cause harm to another in so using it. One could not, he argued, gain ownership of property one did not need. If we allow that one can use property for the needs of others as well, do you think that Locke's principle is ethical? Why or why not?
