A post in this thread and in another were sent by me yesterday but have not
showed up, even in the archive, so this is to check what is happening and to
assure everyone how worthwhile those posts were.

JL presents a list of philosophers from Philosophy Now's recent 'polls' and
comments on their proximity to or distance from the Master.
For example
'John Locke--my favourite English philosopher ever--mostly influential in
Oxford…'
'Thomas Hobbes--my favourite English philosopher EVER…'
One should, I think, pass over in silence this evidence that on some questions
JL is of two minds. As it were.
Students of Constitutional history might add that Locke was somewhat
influential in the the Colonies; or, rather, his ideas were. At Oxford, he was
mostly admired for his ability to recite the Tractatus, in German, at a
moment's notice.
