本論文針對洛克的政治義務理論提出以下問題並嘗試以人類行動概念的觀點回答之：在自由民主政治中，當服從政治義務成為一種普遍的人類行動時，人民為什麼應該服從政治義務？自我保存並盡力保存他人的人類（社群）保存概念是洛克政治社會之所以存在的重要目的與理由之一，人類行動概念如何呼應洛克的這個基本立場？對提升和維繫人類的保存有什麼幫助？以及如何理解處於穩定與互信的政治社會中，政府與人民之個別和連結狀態？為何信任關係對穩定政治正當秩序有助益？
因此，透過觀照近三十年來學圈（英美學圈為主，國內學圈為輔）對十七世紀政治思想家洛克的政治義務理論之討論趨勢與爭辯，而發展同樣在政治義務概念的議論範疇內，洛克的人類行動概念如何支持其特有的政治義務理論。回到政治義務理論的根本目的：維護一個穩定的政治秩序，本論文從洛克對人類行動本質的探討出發，論述人民服從政治義務起因於政治義務保存人類社群的功能以及人類行動自我保存的目的，而結果於對一種以信任概念為基礎的政治承諾和共識，最終得以維護一個穩定的政治秩序。

This thesis aims to clarify the following questions of John Locke's theory of political obligation from the perspectives of his concept of human action. The following questions are: while obeying political obligation became a general human action in a liberal democracy politic, what is the reason that citizens should obey it? Self-preservation and the preservation of others is an important goal and reason for the construction of Locke's political society, how to understand this view of point through his concept of human action? Will it strengthen and conserving human's preservation? And how to understand the relationship between government and citizens when under a stable and trusted political society? Why is a trusted relationship between government and citizens helps sustaining a stable political order?
By going through late 30-years of disputes among Locke's theory of political obligation, this thesis started from the perspectives of Locke's concept of human action. Analyses how Locke's concept of human action support his unique theory of political obligation. To conclude that as sustaining a stable political order becomes the core intention for a political obligation theory, Locke's concept of human action will show that citizens obey political obligations is for the purpose of self-preservation and the preservation of others. Ended up living in a society of political commitments and consensus based on the concept of trust.
