The answer. Morning Glory America 1st brand new day of the new year with broadcast a part of it didn't broadcast yesterday but this is the 1st broadcast day of the new year and you are with me to 2nd hour thank you for doing that is our tradition to begin the 1st broadcast of every year with Dr Larry on the Hill tail college marching to the ideas that animate every discussion it's also my intent to get you over to Amazon dot com to order my new book The 4th Way a conservative playbook to a lasting Republican majority it's link to Hugh Hewitt dot com vital that you get this most important book that I've ever read cetera thing down that you're doing right now go order a bunch of copies for yourself your family and more importantly any elected Republican official that you know any conservative with any amount of power in the country and start sending them off so they do the right thing from the beginning and stick with us because now we're going to go into the modern philosophers obs and Lock Oh my gosh this is tough stuff Dr Larry are in is my guess is the president Hillsdale College all these conversations are collected at you for Hillsdale dot com Everything else they'll Hillsdale dot edu but I'm telling you this is tough stuff Dr Arne I don't think you can make these guys interesting Hobbs in lock that's who we're going to cover now and you left off Milton who might have made it possible to make Hobbs interesting. I have always hated Thomas Hobbes and I know I'm with a guilty conscience I'm supposed to love Locke but I can't for the life of me read him without falling asleep explained to us Hobbes in Locke Well 1st of all I'm going to try to and group those 2 because I think they should be a good group. But you know they are actually riveting reading I haven't Leviathan isn't an amazing piece of writing and it's a story he's bright. It is. Like me Macchiavelli without quite the poetic force but it is a drama it is a very dramatic and powerful attack upon the world as it has been conceived before the modern philosophy early in the book there's a chapter called of reason and he says there that reason then is but a scout or a spy to arrange abroad and find a way to the thing to say. I'm quoting that from memory but I can remember when I 1st read that I went wow because you see one of the things that's going on in modern philosophy especially in the early part of it is if we're going to shift our focus from how men ought to be to how they are then it actually comes up that what we should be thinking about is what they want and in Hobbes it is systematic that your rational faculty is a servant of your passion it is a reversal of the classical doctrine that happiness comes from virtue and virtue consists specifically in the subordination of the passions to the reason and so the world is turned upside down in. The design other worldly things they become in the Leviathan spirits invisible like ghosts and paints and and. It is you know he gives an example once of what war among rational people would be like people who really understood their self interest there in light of self-interest they would understand that the most fearsome thing is violent death and the thing most to be avoided and so in a war if rational people were the soldiers a picture of war would be 2 armies running from one another as fast as they could go. Now that is a remarkable thing to be writing I mean think now you know we've been you know you have to restore the moral perspective here we have had our fellow citizens slaughtered in their cells and cremated in a fire that only went out few days ago that darkened the skies of New York and put a stench in the air for weeks and is a frightful thing to do to men women and children alike and thank God we have people who are prepared to go up the stairs to save their lives or who are prepared to go to Afghanistan and hunt in those case until they kill them who did that thing well. That is not the perspective of Thomas. Not knowing and he makes I have given argument for his point of view well that summarizes point of view that we ought to all be willing to give b.n. And give over to someone who keep us safe that's it and you know that the goal of I often is an argument for a dictatorship designed to preserve our security and and that is a consonant with because remember one of the parts of one of the things that's going on in early modern philosophy not so much in Mexico only because Mecca Valley is very warlike very spirited man. Harvey Mansfield with whom we've referred to before he regards it as an important thing to do to recover some of the spirit of Macchiavelli as a way to offset some of the influence of Thomas Hobbes it may be among some of this . To him as a political as an act of political education to make us fearful to dominate our lives with our fears and to excuse or to to demote and to put in the bank on our connection with God and with all of the higher things that are above so Hobbs is terribly important and you know. Me. I'll just say I found Hobbes. I you know I that was one of the early books that I found you know great books that I found riveting to read I do believe he is you could not say that about the 2nd treatise on government. Well Don you can't say that that's a terribly important book well you didn't say that was riveting No I have not found luck so riveting as. I have not but I but he says he's better why bother with a lot we can go right to the framers well because if you know I have a good friend named Thomas West and he's very wise and. He has if you go to the website of the Family Research Council you can find his Witherspoon lecture on John Locke and it's an excellent piece of reading and I agree with it I believe he's carried off something that I have for years urged him not to do in using almost exactly the phrase that you have used Glock is either part of this conspiracy that's going on with Macchiavelli and bacon and Hobbes and some others or he's not and he was very influential on the American Revolution and so the question would be Is America in its essence and finally. There is that argument out there and their their their love of lacunae I was called the great lock he was undoubtedly the most influential little Philosophers a part of and there are 2 ways you can deal with that or there are 3 ways you could agree with it but in my opinion that doesn't make the 1st bit of sense for one reason because we've always been such good warriors and of course our I had our ideal American the American George Washington who was for a. Long other things he was massively brave he was the magnanimous Aristotle description of the man of perfect virtue. And so I don't know if you can just agree that we're a bunch of lock ins in the low understanding of luck when the question arises how do you how do you cope if you don't agree and there are 2 ways that I can think of and one is you can say that the Americans were practical men and they were the slave of any philosopher they were students of the political things just as much as Eric Lee So Mr Gleason ancient Greece. And they contrived a political system that was in conformity with the natural political things they saw around them as those things had been qualified and modified by the birth of Jesus monotheism that's one way to go I have always preferred that way I think it's true but Tom with on the other hand who's a theoretic man a real ability want to redeem Locke he's not alone and there's also Mason talk of it Chicago who's more or less of this view has appeared to speak for him but he says he sophisticated man and a fine lot scholar and I heard him make arguments similar to those that come with snakes now what they quote what they do well and when they make these arguments I'll read you a quote from from Locke. If I can find the darn thing. Nature I can say has put in to manage this Art of Happiness it in their version to Mystery principles of action indeed there are large demands have tenets but these are so far from being moral principles that if they were left to their full swing they would carry him into the overturning of all morality. Moral laws are says curb in restraint to these exorbitant desires. Though that's what do you what's that supposed to mean to us well what is supposed to mean is this is not me coughing spell here this is not a man who is going down the road the Thomas Hobbes indicated where if we but govern ourselves by giving rein to our strongest passions we will have at the last a peaceful society and harmonious under the thumb of an all powerful ruler this is a man who's giving a richer and broader picture of human nature who understands that we do have these appetites but if we liberate them and follow them anywhere they will take us they will destroy us what it must curb is a moral law that is to say looking up and beyond ourselves when we come back Dr r. And we're going to turn to someone who actually is fun to read. No matter what he says America I'm warning you if you pick up a 2nd trade if you're in for a really long haul but Russo Well he's he's a lot of fun very mischievous when we return we go to the French with Dr Larry on this missile edition of the if you do it show.
