<p>The political thought of James VI has always been associated witn the divine right of kingship. However, the theory of divine kingship is merely one feature of his thought. James primarily developed his ideas under the influence of political realism that he encounterea in his youth. He then incorporated various elements of religious reformers' views and Renaissance humanism into his thought for the purpose of constructing strong kingship, which could not be threatened by any other entity. <br>In this paper, I examine the historical context that influenced the development of James' thought and the characteristics of his thought—the obedience theory, Renaissance humanism, and political realism.</p>

<p>Harriet Taylor and J. S. Mill, in the late 1840's and early 1850's, just before and after their marriage, wrote a series of articles on injustice and cruelty, revealing their growing concern over the effects of male violence and authority sanctioned by law. Their intention was to drive legislators and judges to regard violence as a serious crime deserving severe punishment. My analytical approaches are based upon thoughts in their "joint productions"; sometimes Mill comments, "Very little of this article was mine". This paper aims to shed light on Harriet Taylor's ideas and the formative process of Mill's thoughts.</p>

<p>The aim of this paper is to present John Lockeʼs arguments in the <i>Two Treatises of Government</i> as a comprehensive response to Robert Filmerʼs vehement criticism of the contract theory. Filmer argues that contract theory neither works in theory nor in practice, and so is, as such, a theory of anarchy. Partly accepting these criticisms, Locke constructs a contract theory such that Filmerʼs attacks lose their theoretical sting, that is, an individualistic contract theory which rejects the stigmatization of anarchy. However, Lockeʼs reconstruction is based on the theological foundations which we cannot reasonably share today. Acknowledgement of this fact, in turn, enables us to appreciate the contemporary significance of both Locke <i>and</i> Filmer.</p>
