John Locke's greatness as a philosopher is based on his theories on childhood, his work on religious toleration and his concept of the rights of citizens. He helped to make us who we are.

    • Yes it was a public high-school. No it was not mandatory. However, education is a choice either way. No one is forced to go to school, and especially not high-school. By that time, we all have the individual choice to drop out after a certain period of time. Whether a course is "Mandatory," or not isn't why a kid loses his interest in education. Education is already beautiful. If someone decides for themselves to believe otherwise, it's their own fault. Any excuse otherwise, like blaming the institution, blaming parents, blaming past failures, well, that's just the efforts of the individual to try to make up for his perceived mistakes in life. In my opinion, that person shouldn't be so hard on themselves. Education isn't the most important thing in the world.

    • Well, if those kids drop out only after two years, whatever they learned, probably won't have any use in the world after graduation. If they do go beyond the two years, and actually WANT to learn, then, I'm sure, that it doesn't matter what they are taught about that unless, they choose to have a career that revolves around it. Also, you are required to take a political course in college. So, going to college, might help people out

Thirdly these ideas inevitably ended slavery. If you're going to be an abolitionist in 2020 you have to attack slavery globally and before the western world started to gain power. Advocate for the pyramids to come down, advocate for all native American monuments to come down, advocate the dismantling for all of Asia to be destroyed. All these civilizations used slavery. England, Canada, Europe, and America ended slavery because of the works of Locke and other Western philosophers. England should get more credit because (my history is rusty) they took military action against many nations that used slavery. Get bent bro.

  • John Locke Fun Fact: Locke was going to become a doctor, till he met Earl of Shaftsburry (very political figure). What to do about differing religious views? Toleration - People CAN'T (lacking of ability) determine which is a true religious standpoint. - Even if you could, no one can make (by violence) you genuinely believe something. - Religious uniformity leads to more social chaos, than allowing diversity, Who should rule the country? -God gives that authority. - The rule must make people comfortable in society - The ruler has to respect everyone's freedom and property. Beyond that the people have the right to overthrow their rulers. How should we educate our children? - People's views are shaped by their experiences, as they are blank slates when they are born. Therefore, educate them right, and early. - They should be taught practical things such as ethics, business, psychology, science, etc. Important definition: State of nature, when we have all rights before joining society. (as we consent to give up some rights to live in society)

Firstly, books like Animal Farm are a good reminder of Stalinism and should be taken as a cautionary tale, regardless of how likely it is in the future. Humanity is just too good at forgetting its own mistakes.Secondly, one could argue that we are living the reality of 1984, in a way, today, where political correctness has invaded logical discourse and our words and opinions are constantly policed. You are right that we are on the cusp of the realities of Brave New World, but that in no way discredits Orwell's commentary.

  • Its interesting... and fitting... that much of this video features Henry VIII. Much of modern political philosophy, arguably, could be traced (indirectly... ish) to Henry VIII. As mentioned, much of political philosophy at the time was centered around the divine right of kings. Political power was derived from, and dependent on, God. A person ruled because God allowed it. Then Henry VIII came along. As the song goes, Henry VIII had a lot of wives, but, for the purposes of this story, the only one that actually matters is his first wife, Catherine of Aaragon. Henry wanted an heir. Catherine did not produce one, so in Henry's 30s he decided to look for a new spouse. At the time, England was Catholic, so he requested from the Pope permission to annul his marriage. Divorce and annulment were not seen as valid by Catholic religious law, so it was denied. Long story, short... Henry essentially came to the conclusion that the Pope was not the King; HE was the King and, if the Pope wasn't going to approve it, then Henry was going to make his own church where it was allowed. End of the day, in 1534, Henry VIII created the Church of England (Anglican) separate from the Church of Rome, and they mutually excommunicated each other. All so he could divorce his wife. The ramifications of that action, however, were huge... especially in political philosophy. The thought went, if the power of the King was at the pleasure of God... and the king just rejected God... and nothing happened... then what does that mean? Obviously, the rational answer is that power doesn't derive from God. So, if it doesn't derive from God, then where does political power come from? That act, along with various revolutions at the time, caused an renaissance in political philosophy in the late 16th and early 17th century that examined the sources of power and rights, and lead to the development of schools of thought like Hobbes's, Locke's, and Rousseau's Social Contract Theories. It's fascinating stuff.

    • @@andrewcollingridge9429 If we limit our freedom by the maxim of that which does not harm it, government will turn paternalistic very fast and the gradual decay of liberty will be exacerbated. We seem to have forgotten that freedom and liberty do not come to us as a given. There are prices every generation pays for them, and so long as we recognize true liberty as being the universal superior element, we will continue to make such sacrifices. The words of Franklin make my case for me: "He who is willing to give up his freedom to purchase a temporary security deserves neither freedom nor security."

  • Could you do an episode on being second best (or anything less than first)? I find that media today has so much hype over being "the very best", but there is often no sympathy to those who came in second. The phrase second is the first loser is proof of that, as well as the commercial for the Pokemon tournament. There are many other examples like Karate Kid and many other films.

    • well, you may not know this, but the right to bear arms was actually a part of the English bill of rights of/from 1689. Its just within the last 50 years or so that more strict gun laws were implemented into the UK. Were do you think the people (of British descent) in the 13 colony's got [some of] their ideas from... it's important to remember that certain rights (bill of rights, laws, common law, etc) that the people in england/Britain enjoyed were not extended to those of the 13 colony's. That WAS extremely unfair and an understatement. The people of the 13 colony's knew this and of course was the biggest reason for revolution, blah blah rest is history. Locke had a big influence on Thomas Jefferson, in particular.
