How many millions of Canadians have been hoodwinked by persistent mass media messaging that employs “smoke and mirrors” to hide the truth about the legitimacy of governments in our lives?
Do you really beleive our government-run schools are going to teach our children to analyze the information we consume? They ae relieving us of that responsibility as well. They will make sure we don't get any 'misinformation.' No analysis required anymore.
I love the idea of having a governance of this nature @Gene, please take a look at Matt Ehret's "Humanity's Struggle for a City of God: From Plato to Thomas More [RTF Lecture Matt Ehret]" It is almost 3 hrs long but is foundational to our historical developments and how these moments have risen and fallen, that keep us seeking "the City of God" https://youtu.be/mRVlB7vHAA0?si=8fPA9PdSiI0R59IM
Hobbes v. Blackstone
Philosophy - Thomas Hobbes (April 1588 – December 1679) was an English philosopher. Hobbes is best
known for his 1651 book Leviathan, in which he expounds an influential formula on of social contract
theory.
Where there is no common power, there is no law, where no law, no injustice.
Force, and fraud, are at war with the two cardinal virtues.
The laws are of no power to protect them, without a sword in the hands of a man, or men, to cause
those laws to be put in execution.
And law was brought into the world for nothing else but to limit the natural liberty of particular men in
such manner as they might not hurt, but assist one another, and join together against a common enemy.
The practice of philosophy and the practice of jurisprudence are two distinct fields of study, although
they share some similarities.
Philosophy is a broad field that encompasses the study of knowledge, existence, values, reason, mind,
and language.
Philosophy of law is a subfield of philosophy that investigates the nature of law and legal systems,
especially in relation to human values, attitudes, practices, and political communities.
Jurisprudence - Sir William Blackstone (July 1723 – February 1780) was an English jurist, justice, and Tory
politician most noted for his Commentaries on the Laws of England, which became the best-known
description of the doctrines of the English common law.
Jurisprudence, on the other hand, is the study of the principles and theories of law and legal systems. It
aims to understand the positive effect brought by law and refers to the effect at a relatively lower level
than philosophy of law.
Philosophers debate the extent to which jurisprudence can or should proceed without appeal to moral
or other values. They disagree about which participant perspective is primary and about what taking up
the participant perspective commits the theorist to.
In summary, philosophy of law is a subfield of philosophy that investigates the nature of law and legal
systems in relation to human values, attitudes, practices, and political communities. Jurisprudence is the
study of the principles and theories of law and legal systems
