Yeah, I'm not sure what constitutes modern. We're not reading any Greeks,
but other than that.... Let's see, we've got: Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke,
Rousseau, Hegel, and Marx. I love, not so much that I get to read it,
because I could have done that anyway, but that there are still scholars
willing to share their knowledge about it with me, else, I'm not sure reading
it would have much worth in my case.

<< Leila, I just LOVE the fact that Hobbes is still on the list of "modern"
political philosophers. In fact, given the front page of almost every
newspaper in the world these days, Old Tom could be penning the headlines:
LIFE PROVED "NASTY, BRUTISH, SHORT"
....beyond that, I LOVE the fact that they still make students read
LEVIATHAN (even though the list price on my copy is probably much less than
$2.50--and it too was autographed!!!!!!) (....only kidding....)
