1) In short, to give life “is to frame and make a living creature, fashion the parts, and mould and suit them to their uses; and having proportioned and fitted them together, to put into them a living soul.” Parents do not fashion the child and most commonly, do not even intend to create it; they do so as a by‐product of the instinctive desires God has placed in them. In response to Filmer’s claims, Locke states, “They who say the father gives life to children, are so dazzled with the thoughts of monarchy, that they do not, as they ought, remember God, who is ‘the Author and Giver of Life.” Parents have fiduciary responsibility for their children on Locke’s account, but it expires upon their maturity. Parents are obliged to provide for their children ‘‘not as their own workmanship, but the workmanship of their own maker.”
This is why Locke insists that although children are not born in a “state of equality, though they are born to it.” Adults have “a sort of rule and jurisdiction over them when they come into the world, and for some time after; but it is a temporary one.” The bonds of children’s subjection “are like the Swadling Cloths they are wrapt up in, and supported by, in the weakness of their Infancy.” Developing age and reason loosen these bonds, “till at length they drop quite off, and leave a man at his own free disposal.” The power to command ‘‘ends with nonage.”Thereafter, although ‘‘honour and respect, support and defense, and whatsoever gratitude can oblige a man to, for the highest benefits he is naturally capable of, be always due from a son to his parents; yet all this puts no sceptre into the father’s hand, no sovereign power of commanding.” The only legitimate sanction at the parent’s disposal is the power to withhold inheritance, or “to bestow it with a more sparing or liberal hand, according as the behaviour of this or that child hath comported with his will and humor.” Parents are to “inform the mind, and govern the actions of their yet ignorant nonage, till reason shall take its place, and ease them of that trouble.” This treatment of children reflects an inclusive view of the right to make decisions for oneself: the only justifiable basis for paternalism is incapacity.
One reason that Locke’s view of moral equality has had staying power since he wrote is that the obvious secular analogue of his claim that we are all God’s property is that we are nobody’s property. The workmanship model persisted in the western intellectual consciousness long after it was cut loose from its Lockean theological moorings. If we abandon the theology yet still embrace the workmanship ideal as most in the Enlightenment tradition since Locke—be they conservatives, liberals, or radicals—have done, the logic of his argument against Filmer continues to hold. Indeed, it can be extended: parents cannot own children because they do not make them, but by the same token nor can anyone else own them. In this way the egalitarian logic of his argument against Filmer extends beyond their theological disagreements.
