I came across your videos, was fascinated, had other things to do, then remembered it, came back and saw that you have just about 150 people watching this.. And I was really surprised. You're Video-lectures are really great, the way you talk and explain, the room setup, the fact that you write backwards?! ;)) I really enjoy and admire you're work, please keep it coming, keep it up, and I really hope you get the spotlight that you deserve! All the best!

I confess to a fervent desire to force several politicians to write out some segments of this lecture. Longhand. Say, 50 times.

Very helpful but can you explain about the problematic areas of his letter

[mizukisenpai]

How can you write backwards like that?

Hello very good video. Could you say that the church example can relate to society in general as society is a consensual agreement. I am writing about free speech and the social contract, and considering whether this right is a substantive right which is inherent or a civil liberty which cannot be absolute. What are your thoughts on this and did Locke consider a right to be able to exists in a natural state without a manmade society to regulate it?

can you tell me what his political concern was regarding toleration?
