Question

What do you think Locke means by "state of nature?"

Answer 1

If man in the state of the nature is free ,if he is absolute lord of his own person and possessions

Answer 2

For Locke, in the state of nature all men are free "to order their actions, and dispose of their possessions and persons, as they think fit, within the bounds of the law of nature."

"The state of Nature has a law of Nature to govern it", and that law is reason.
