John Locke: possessions or political rights as guarantee of liberty

Abstract

What the article looked for is to think about the guarantees that the modern social contract offers to liberty. Thus, standing aside from the current dominant interpretation, is attempt to make a hermeneutical approach to his work that give some account of the semantic field in which it was developed. In this way, is left to appear the author's own voice, to elucidate what is the content and extent of liberty and guarantees of which the first enjoys in the lockean social contract.
