  Great series of posts, thank you. But Locke was drawing on an old tradition. For instance Henry de Bracton, Henry the second's chief justice c. 1250, 'The King is beneath no man but he is beneath God and he rules England as God's lieutenant and according to God's laws. And he is beneath the law, for it is by the law that he becomes king'. This idea goes back to the time of Alfred the Great, and maybe before him, to Dyfnal Moelmuth, c. 4th C. BC.

  The first time I read "Common Sense," I laughed at Paine's audacity when he compared English rule to a prostitute. He said that a man keeps going to one worker out of indolence, because it's easier than going out and finding something better.

  I was born near Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, where we grew up with stories about the town's two namesakes, but not Edmund Burke. John Wilkes, the hero to the Sons of Liberty who served time for criticizing George III, was a member of the Hellfire Club -- about which, the less said, the better. Isaac Barré whose phrase "Sons of Liberty" came to symbolize the Revolution in three words, was vehemently opposed to the Quebec Act, which granted religious and civil rights to Catholics in Canada.

  This is a fascinating and worthwhile presentation and I offer my thanks along with a request and a comment. The request is that you find some way to provide the text of the "handout" that Dr. Herstein references repeatedly - perhaps as a link here to an online site holding the document. Herstein is convincing in arguing that one ought to find ways to learn to think "like" Whitehead - but deficient in sketching paths to learning to think with, say, "abstract algebra". His list, or any list, of resources for the interested scholar or layperson would be very useful. My comment it to note that Herstein's book "Whitehead and the Measurement Problem of Cosmology" is worthy in many dimensions. But I can say that it also, especially, offers one of the most articulate and readable examples of how one can be guided into an area of mathematics that might seem otherwise overwhelming. In this case he introduces the broad mathematical notion of "tensors" in a tutorial manner which is clear and interesting. Since Whitehead himself said something to the effect that the introduction of the "tensor calculus" as a prerequisite for physicists to understand the theory of relativity undoubtedly caused many of them to blanch, this is no minor accomplishment.

  Thomas Paine's life should serve as a warning to people who reject the Word of God as mere myths. Thomas Paine's thinking reflects only the common drift of the enlightenment, casting aside truth from the Bible, and exalting the mind of man and his freedom to govern himself. We see the fruit of this ideology all around us. Look at social media, and what most people spout, that they are master of their own destiny. That is what their enlightened reason brought them, no hope for eternity, and that they are only earthly, and speak of the earth, which all of this is just passing away, as Jesus said. It makes me sad to learn that many of our founding fathers were blind to what God's Word truly teaches, and who Jesus Christ is and was. "Person of Interest" by J. Warner Wallace, is a great book. Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Immanuel, עמנואל, with us - God, the only true and living God in the form of a man, of whom all of western society reflects the impact that this one single man has had multiples of times above all the other scholars and leaders combined down through time. Even Napoleon Bonaparte recognized this distinction in who Jesus was. Read his quotes.

  Was Thomas Paine provocative? Absolutely. But a vain journalist who just sought fame? Absolutely not! Thomas Paine was the quintessential example a what a brave and idealist revolutionary can do with his life when he has no material attachments to compromise himself. Unlike all the other founding fathers, his cause was for ALL of mankind, and not just to the benefit of himself or his fellow countrymen in America. It is so poetic that his bones cannot be found because they are scattered possibly around the world-just as his intention for the entire human race. Thomas Paine should be remembered for being a visionary that made the fight for freedom, peace, and prosperity of everyone his own personal fight. A man who gave up everything for this cause, including his own life and reputation. He was the very first domino in the American Revolution and kept contributing whatever he could until he saw it through. I cannot say enough good things about Paine. He was a high genius, a patriot, a leader, a truth-seeker, a defender of justice, and an all-around good man. He also inspired my second book which was a sequel to "Common Sense." It is a manifesto for the modern age signaling the cause for independence from unelected entities which have usurped our elected governments.

  The more I learn about him, the more disappointed I am with him. A lot of Thomas' best ideas came from his father. The father of Thomas Paine should have been one of the founding fathers of America. Thomas Paine himself rejected a lot of his father's wisdom and that's why he struggled so much in life.

You could characterize him as an anarchist. I'm not saying that his writings are bad. His writing are wonderful. I just think his father deserves a lot of the credit.
