Let me be the first...John Locke? He's in Lost!<br /><br />Let me be the first in this comment space to say I've never read a word of 'im. Somewhere I saw a writer refer to this type of revered author/scholar collectively as "The Great Unread". I once tackled Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations" but couldn't stand the gaff. In the eighteenth and nineteenth century there may have been a very different mental space prevailing so that people could chop their way through this stuff. On the other hand, they may have only been studied by a small coterie who persuaded others to be awed..on the principle of the King's New Clothes. Apart from University students who are set the texts who would seek out these drearies? Now Thucydides...he's good.Retariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09165689727557860449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-36351133373448366272010-04-30T02:38:10.373-07:002010-04-30T02:38:10.373-07:00You clearly knew tham. :-))You clearly knew tham. :-))Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-17657766110718694692010-04-29T16:26:31.134-07:002010-04-29T16:26:31.134-07:00Yes indeed, good friends.

He had 'some' points I agree with, but most of it is radicalism bound up it curtness, wrapped in a cellophane of tedium.Fletch's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402507296202065300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-70279910819666060392010-04-29T16:23:39.447-07:002010-04-29T16:23:39.447-07:00:-) Locke was a good friend of Shaftesbury.
