RALEIGH — John Locke was a 17th-century English philosopher whose work had a profound impact on the American founders. One of Locke’s key works was the Second Treatise on Civil Government.

Is there a role in political debate for philosophy? For many politicos, the answer is not so much a “no” as an impatient, dismissive wave of the hand.
