@matthenryyoung Looks more like antiquity and renaissance to me. Where are the great medieval scholastic political thinkers, like Peter Lombard, John of Salisbury, Aquinas, Ockham, Wycliffe, Giles of Rome, to name a few?
Very interesting article on Calvin's criticism of humanist ideas of counsel! Calvin seems to share with Melanchthon the importance of institutions and law in curbing rulers' passions. I wonder if C had read M's politics commentary with a similar role for ephors (and parlement)?
My article on Jean Calvin's 1532 Seneca Commentary is now published at @HEIjournal. If you're interested in #Calvin's political thought or the problem of counsel, take a look.
Link below, and DM me if you don't have access but would like to read it.

@DLNoorlander Is "good writing" a marking criterium or a learning objective? If not, then not much if at all, but give feedback and help improve future writing. If yes, balance it against other criteria/ILOs.
Thrilling news! John Locke's journals have been digitised by the The Bodleian & The Clarendon Board. You can now read Locke's hand on yellowing paper on everything, from buying kid gloves to Alice George, who was 108 & only suffered rarely from the vapours
