CURRENT POLITICAL THOUGHT OF JOHN LOCKE

Wondering about Locke currently amounts to asking for liberalism today. And, although usually the noun 'liberalism' is usually associated with the name of Adam Smith and his On the Origin of the Wealth of Nations (1776), the political theory of John Locke on the political representation under the rule of democracy Parliament (headed by the monarch) and the principle of 'no intervention' in economics (which, in A. Smith is known as the 'doctrine of laissez faire') predated those of Smith in a eighty years (different versions of the Treaties on Civil Government written since 1689, the third of these, in 1698, which Locke considered definitive.)

Similarly, in the moral doctrine of Adam Smith and the foundations of his theory of moral sentiments (the principle of sympathy and moral split personality: the staff judge's actions and the subject who performs) are detectable also some of the original proposals of Locke, who said that God breathed into human consciousness a series of moral prejudices or feelings pertaining to a predetermined plan of peace and harmony between individuals and peoples (not remained free action to individuals, they simply determined moral sentiments). Thus Locke answered and was confronted with the fatalistic conception and thoroughness of T. Hobbes Leviathan dominated by a pessimistic conception of human nature (the "Homo homini lupus').

The influence of liberalism and moral relativist and pragmatist theories derived from these postulates is remarkable. It could be argued that after the crises in Europe since 1989 by political systems related to the so-called real socialism or "communism" (Berlin Wall fell, Perestroika, disintegration of the USSR, etc.) Economic and political liberalism has emerged the only modern political theory (of historical modernity) to keep up. Can be seen even in traditionally political regimes 'socialist' as China and, more recently, the Cuban regime is being taken based on the principles of economic liberalism. This in the case of China is arguably the north of its global economic policy for decades: the subordination of all shares at the beginning of the competition. However

economic liberalism continues to show ineffective to propose effective solutions to two of the most serious problems persist in societies Contemporary: rising inequality and poverty rates on the one hand, and the problem of political corruption to a greater or lesser extent all countries suffer proclaim themselves as 'liberals' (U.S., EU Europe, Russian Federation, most countries formerly part of the process of decolonization after the 2 nd GM, which adopted the formula to become politically liberal, etc.)..

Moreover, the derivation of liberalism to political forms of radicalization conservative or 'neocon' as given in the U.S. movements such as the 'Tea Party', with the survival social racism in all EU Member States, with attacks from very powerful, all self-styled 'liberals', the timid social policies of President Obama, or as those found in Europe or a racist government Switzerland, or the rise of segregationist demands and / or xenophobic by large sections of European electorates are realities that continue to be concerned about media proliberales (universities, publishing houses, churches, political parties, trade unions ...) that defend principles such as self-goodness of the liberal principle par excellence, or postulates as the evil inherent in the existence of a strong state.
