Locke vs Rousseau (Social Contract Philosophers Compared) Tom Richey 2021-01-21 | Hobbes vs. Locke: youtube.com/watch?v=N2LVcu01QEUJohn Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau were both social contract theorists whose theories were widely read during the Enlightenment. They had some points of agreement, given that they did not agree with Thomas Hobbes' view that humans are inherently contentious and murderous by nature. They also agreed that the political community offers advantages over the state of nature and that the people do not give up their sovereignty by entering into the social contract.Where Locke and Rousseau disagree is chiefly about the nature of freedom and whether private property existed in the state of nature. The disagreements between Locke and Rousseau on these points created significantly different understandings of the social contract. Locke's social contract is based on giving up specific rights in order to maintain the rest, while Rousseau's involves entering into a proto-socialist community with a government based on the general will.
Human Nature and the Social Contract (Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau) Tom Richey 2021-01-19 | Subscribe to Korczyk's Class: youtube.com/channel/UCjPX6GE9CKFm7feaRyUPXZwHobbes vs. Locke: youtube.com/watch?v=N2LVcu01QEUThe social contract theories of Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jaques Rousseu were firmly rooted in their differing views about human nature. Hobbes, who advocated for a strong absolute monarchy, began with the belief that human beings were naturally contentious and prone to destroy one another without a strong sovereign over them. John Locke believe in tabula rasa theory, meaning that humans are not predisposed toward any set way of behaving toward each other. Humans come with a blank slate and no prior programming. In light of this, his social contract theory based on natural rights is something that works. Humans can be governed by a contract and still retain some of their rights.Rousseau believed that humans are naturally compassionate and are not prone to harm one another. His social contract theory based on the General Will is rooted in this idea that since an individual is benevolent, so much a large group.
Robert E. Lee and the Courage to Quit (Tom Richey Podcast #19) Tom Richey 2021-01-07 | The Tom Richey Podcast is also available on iTunes and Spotify. Today's senseless violence at the U.S. Capitol is a product of President Trump not having the courage to quit. Regardless of what one thinks about the results of the 2020 election, in the immortal words of Obi Wan Kenobi, "It's over, Anakin!" Perhaps, those who were waving Confederate flags in the Capitol should reflect for a moment on the character of Robert E. Lee, whose honorable surrender at Appomattox Court House set an example of right conduct for anyone facing inevitable defeat.
Bleeding Kansas (The Kansas-Nebraska Act and Its Consequences) Tom Richey 2020-12-28 | Annotated Timeline and Lecture Notes Available:tomrichey.net/blog/bleedingkansasVisit tomrichey.net for instructional materials for United States History courses, including AP US History (APUSH)The controversial Kansas-Nebraska Act, by repealing the Missouri Compromise and applying popular sovereignty in territories that had been previously closed to slavery, created a mad rush to settle the Kansas Territory. Antislavery settlers arrived from as far away as New England, while proslavery settlers augmented their numbers with Missouri residents who crossed the border in order to vote in territorial elections. This timeline follows the saga of "Bleeding Kansas" from its origins to its conclusion.1820 (Missouri Compromise): The Missouri Compromise closed all territory north of the 36°30′ parallel to slavery within the Louisiana Purchase. The territories that would later be organized as Kansas and Nebraska were north of the 36°30′ parallel, so the understanding reached in 1820 was that this territory would be closed to slavery.1850 (Compromise of 1850): As part of the Compromise of 1850, the New Mexico and Utah Territories were both organized in the Mexican Cession on the principle of popular sovereignty, with Congress leaving the settlement of the slavery question to the settlers, themselves. California is admitted into the Union as a free state. This was the first de facto application of popular sovereignty because the settlers in California drafted and submitted a free-state constitution on their own, without having previously been organized as a federal territory.1854 (The Kansas-Nebraska Act): The Kansas-Nebraska Act, which was aimed at developing Western lands in the Louisiana Purchase north of the 36°30′ parallel (e.g., encouraging settlement, developing a transcontinental railroad) included a provision repealing the Missouri Compromise and organizing the Kansas and Nebraska Territories based on popular sovereignty. The Kansas-Nebraska Act caused a national controversy, resulting in the demise of the Whig Party after its Northern and Southern factions split on the bill. Former Northern Whigs and free-soil Democrats met in Wisconsin and founded the Republican Party.1854-1859 ("Bleeding Kansas"): Proslavery and antislavery settlers rushed into the Kansas Territory in order to try to create majorities for their respective sides. Some of the proslavery settlers were “Border Ruffians” who were residents of Missouri who crossed the border in order to influence elections. Antislavery settlers came from as far as New England. This resulted in violent confrontations that earned the Kansas Territory the nickname, “Bleeding Kansas.”The New England settlers were supported by Northern abolitionists, such as Henry Ward Beecher, who sent rifles that became known as “Beecher’s Bibles.” Proslavery settlers were also armed and committed acts of violence, such as the Sack of Lawrence, an attack on the antislavery town of Lawrence, Kansas. John Brown, a New England abolitionist who settled in Kansas with his sons, took vengeance on a randomly-selected family of proslavery settlers in the Pottawatomie Massacre. The violence in Kansas continued for years, killing dozens.1855 (The Topeka Constitution): A convention of settlers was held in Topeka, Kansas, which produced the Topeka Constitution, which was a Free State constitution for Kansas. The Topeka Constitution was held up in Congress, not being able to pass through the proslavery Senate.1856 (The Brooks-Sumner Incident): Charles Sumner, an abolitionist senator from Massachusetts, delivered an inflammatory speech, which he titled, “The Crime Against Kansas,” in which he personally insulted Senator Andrew Butler of South Carolina and went on to disparage his entire state. Preston Brooks, a member of the House of Representatives from South Carolina and a relative of Senator Butler, took it upon himself to beat the living daylights out of Sumner with a cane to avenge the honor of his state. The caning of Charles Sumner became a polarizing incident, as Northerners vilified Brooks as a caricature of a violent Southern slaveholder, while he was hailed as a hero in the South. Southern supporters sent canes to Brooks in appreciation for his efforts.1857 (The Lecompton Constitution): Proslavery settlers drafted the Lecompton Constitution, which would have established Kansas as a slave state. In spite of support from President Buchanan, the Lecompton Constitution was blocked by the free-state majority in the House of Representatives.1861 (Statehood): After the secession of the Deep South created a free-state majority in the United States Senate, Kansas was finally admitted into the Union as a free state on January 29, 1861.

Children of the Watch (The Mandalorian: Season 2) Tom Richey 2020-11-29 | In Chapter 11 of The Mandalorian, Bo-Katan reveals to Mando that not all Mandalorians are like him -- that he was raised by a cult of religious zealots who broke from Mandalorian society in an effort to restore the old Way of the Mandalore. These "zealots," known as the Children of the Watch, raised Mando to be a Mandalorian unlike most others. In this video, I analyze the content of this episode, focusing on the theme of childhood, with references to Plato's Allegory of the Cave and The Little Prince. We have a lot to learn in life as we grow and collect new experiences on the path to growing up, but even the wisest and most experienced adults have a lot to learn from children.

Does Lana Del Rey Glorify Abusive Relationships? Tom Richey 2020-05-22 | Visit http://instagram.com/lanadelrey to view Lana's public statement that she posted on her Instagram account.Today, Lana Del Rey struck back against critics who have accused her of glorifying abusive relationships in her music. Some of Lana's songs are written from the perspective of a woman madly in love with a man who is either abusing or ignoring her. For example, as she sings in the title track of Ultraviolence, "He hit me and it felt like a kiss." When she sings about this, is she holding up abusive relationships as an ideal or advocating that people seek out abusive partners with whom to fall in love?The nineteenth century romantic movement was an artistic and literary movement that glorified beauty, emotion, and the past (no matter how ugly). A romantic sees emotion - both positive and negative - as inherently beautiful. A sense of beauty in the tragic can be seen in Goethe's classic book, The Sorrows of Young Werther. The protagonist in this book kills himself in order to spare himself the burden of living while madly in love with a woman who is engaged. Arguing that Lana glorifies abusive relationships and that her art has a negative effect on society would be akin to arguing that suicide should not be depicted in art for fear of it sparking an increase in suicides. Of course, some do make this sort of argument and maybe that will be a topic for another video.When viewed through the lens of romanticism, Lana is not glorifying abusive relationships. She is just artistically representing the beauty of being madly in love - even with a flawed partner.To view my lecture on romanticism, visit youtube.com/watch?v=ky6qKSCvSMwThumbnail Photo Credit: Justin Higuchi
