Philosophy and Allotment : John Locke's influence on Henry L. Dawes

David Bergeron obtained his Ph. D. in philosophy from Sherbrooke University in 2015. He specializes in social and political philosophy applied to historical contexts and reflection. The reflection of the political and legal elites (U.S. and Canada) on the Natives was the subject of his doctoral thesis. Generally, his work is based conceptually on John Locke’s philosophy, with a special emphasis on its influence in U.S. history. On that theme, he has already published articles on Thomas Jefferson and John Marshall. He is right now finishing a 500-page volume, in French, on Thomas Jefferson’s thinking, and has already published three research books and two philosophical essays. David Hume’s political philosophy is also a subject of interest.
