Gershon Wolf May 17, 2025 at 8:18 PM Brings back memories of a college course in which the philosophies of Rousseau and John Locke were pitted against each other. Actually, the course was the pits. lol. Andrea Dietrich May 17, 2025 at 9:13 PM Sounds so boring. I would not like that class. Or a really good teacher could pep it up
