This is an interesting claim but I'm not qualified to evaluate its truth or falsehood. Can you link us to the "original foundation?"

- dragonwriter 10y agoThere's not one "original foundation", but there were a number of earlier social contract theorists than Locke with different ideas, like Hobbes, as well as contemporary and later theorists whose work wasn't grounded entirely in Locke's. Locke was an early and important writer in social contract theory, but not the original source in which all social contract theory is grounded.
