Abstract
The subject of the present paper is Locke's conception of natural law and political authority. The author polemizes with the representative of the Cambridge school (Laslett, Dunn), who emphasize the continuity between Locke's thought and the natural law tradition, as well as between the leading "liberal Interpreters of Locke (Strauss, MacPherson) who consider Locke as a follower of T.
Hobbes. The author proposes a middle way between these two interpretations.
