[lbo-talk] Spinoza v. Locke

[Chuck Grimes]

When an ambitious Middle School teacher presented me with a
beautifully bound, early 20th century translation of "On the
Improvement of the Understanding" (even in English, what a lovely,
clear and crisp phrase) I was hooked from the title which made serious
promises the text kept. .d.

I'll try to say something tomorrow night about how reading Spinoza has
started to grow on me a little. I sure wish I had found him rather
than Aquinas as a first hit on philosophy and religion. But what the
hell did I know at sixteen. Aquinas started with `A' and was in the
first row of books in the philosophy section in the public library.

I blew off this evening on the other post, and now I have to hit the
sack.
