John Locke’s Second Treatise on Civil Government, he argues for his vision of society that has a small and restrained consent-driven government that respects the rights of its inhabitants. Locke might be best known for his unbounding aspirations of productivity and theory of a government being based on the consent of the governed, yet one of his most intriguing theories revolve around when citizens can rise up and dissolve a government. This is an essential theme of the treatise, and Locke…

perceptions of pestilence during the fourteenth century.

The work of Galen, who lived through the great pestilence of the second century, was drawn upon heavily by the authors of plague tractates. As a result, the…

of Hume’s work. Especially Hume’s thoughts on the powers of the individual. His main problem with Hume was the way he used induction for the Treatise. Hume attempts to treat his thoughts on human abilities like a scientific experiment. Reid notes Hume makes exceptions to this, which is going against the scientific process. Thus, Reid decides the entire Treatise is unusable, due to Hume’s misuse of his own thought process. After noting Hume’s biggest mistake, Reid goes through several of his…

known as Chanakya), who was a Brahmin pastor under Chandragupta Maurya. In spite of the fact that it was composed toward the end of the fourth century BC, it seems to have been rediscovered just in 1905, following quite a while of insensibility. The treatise in its present structure is in all probability not the content composed by Kautilya, however it is presumably taking into account a content that was wrote by Kautilya; and for no situation can the content completely be credited to Kautilya,…

I t is indeed a signal honor for me to be asked by Dr. Orpheus J. Heyward to write a forward for his treatise on Christian baptism. I am unpardonably proud to attach my name to such a monumental, studied and theological work. While reading his treatise I could not help but be reminded of the words of Baba Dioum, “ in the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, we will understand only what we are taught”.
