More P reading Brown, maybe, and M & D

[Mark Kohut]

Brown sees 16th Century England and Locke here:
Liberty means equality among the brothers (sons)

Liberty, equality: it is all a struggle over the inheritance of the
paternal estate.
(very M & D-related in some slants at least, no?)

"Conventional Anglo-Saxon political theory,...... is all patriarchal".

Re "secret society" ( of Jesuits say).

"Thucydides named secrecy as the distinctive
principle of their [Sparta] polity"....p 13

"Ortega y Gassett can see that the primeval political association is the
secret society.''
             p 13

"It is God's ownership of us--who are therefore his slaves--which excludes
slavery as a
relation between men."
