Locke, John
View through CrossRef
This entry explores two features of John Locke's (1632–1704) theological commitments: the existence and nature of God, and the nature of punishment in the afterlife. Locke argues for a cogitative and immaterial God. Locke also
denies
eternal damnation, or eternal punishment and torment in the afterlife. The goal of this entry is not only to showcase Locke's
often overlooked
discussion of eternal damnation, but also to show how this discussion, and Locke's treatment of God, link up with his groundbreaking and influential discussion of persons and their persistence conditions.
