About this Quote

In this quote, Robert Trout is describing John Locke's view of the human mind. Locke believed that the human mind was composed of only sense certainty, pleasure, and discomfort. From this view, Locke established a theory of the nation that was similarly as bestial. According to Locke, man initially existed in a State of Nature of complete liberty, indicating that guy was totally free to do as he pleased without any limitations or laws. This theory of the nation was based on the concept that guy was naturally complimentary and that any laws or constraints troubled him were abnormal and must be avoided. This theory of the country was viewed as bestial due to the fact that it was seen as a go back to a primitive state of nature, where guy was totally free to do as he pleased with no restrictions or laws.
