This paper claims that John Locke does not support an individualistic conception of society; that if he did (which is false), this would not bring him into conflict with a modern organic conception; that based on this, Bobbio's position lacks epistemic or heuristic value; and that, politically, individualism is not a progressive category of modern social formations.
