It is the first day of semester II,2010-2011. The class I took today is instructed by prof. Ten. There are seven students taking it. The module is about liberty. Tutor will introduce the most influential perspectives concerning this topic along the line from John Locke, to Stuart Mill, to John Rawls. These three philosophers are the most influential liberalists in western history. The works we will refer to are Locke's a letter concerning religious toleration, Mill's on liberty, and Rawls's political liberalism. However, the readings will not limited to these three books. Professor gave us a reading list and will give us some other relevant articles along the module. So, I will have a lot work to do in following days. I am really a little worried about whether I am able to carry out all my plan successfully. But I will not give us. Time and efficiency will be crucially important for my following study.
Keep on reading, thinking,and writing with perseverance.
Today, professor mainly gave us a rough background for these three theorists in the first section and a short instruction of religious toleration. It was mainly about two kinds of common argument about religious toleration that are not persuasive from professor's view.
