초록

존 로크는『인간지성론』에서 ‘인식’의 과정을 누구나 평등하게 가지고 있는 ‘몸의 활동’으로 규정하면서 자유롭고 독립적으로 ‘지식세계’를 구성하는 ‘개인’을 새로운 정치적 주체로 내세운다. 부흥하던 자연과학의 방법론인 관찰과 귀납에 보다 친화적인 ‘경험’이라는 인간 활동의 새로운 차원을 발굴한다. ‘경험’을 신, 왕, 교회, 판사와 같은 외부의 권위를 거치지 않고서도 ‘양심’이라는 신의 선물을 가지고 ‘하얀 도화지’에 단독적으로 지식체계를 구축하는 과정으로 정의하면서 로크는 궁극적으로 시민계급의 정치적 역능의 강화를 꾀하였다. 또한 사물에 대한 성질을 구하는 차원을 일원적인 ‘지식’과 다원적인 ‘의견’의 차원으로 세분화 시키면서 ‘의견’을 바탕으로 ‘관용’이라는 개념을 낳았다. 이러한 논의들을 바탕으로 이 글은 로크의『인간지성론』의 철학적인 주장은 그의 자유주의 정치철학의 토대를 형성하고 있음을 밝힌다.

Abstract

An Whig protagonist, Locke's championship of the parliamentary supremacy invokes a conceptual recasting of the constitutional identity of individual as free and equal. To fulfill this quality, his epistemological bid proves essential in such a way of lending men equipped with the capability of building knowledges. His 1689 seminal work, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, reaches its acme in putting forward the individual as a new agency in modern political landscape. Recasting ‘perception’ as an act of body, equal faculty to all human being, Locke opens up a liberal understanding with which he believed to provide a robust remedy to the war-stricken English polity. ‘Toleration’ stands out its prominent example. To combat Cartesian innatism, Locke draws out the possibility of ‘opinion’, pluralistic approach to the world, with which to prevent dogmatic Christianity from harming the polity. This research therefore intends to unearth the intrinsic liberal characters of his epistemology, yet has been not been previously studied, with which to prove integral to his another crowning work, Two Treaties of Government: an Essay Concerning the True Original, Extend and the End of Civil Government.
