Locke's birthday
John Locke was born on this day in 1632. (So were Ingrid Bergman, Charlie Parker, and Slobodan Milosevic.)
Here is Locke's Letter on Toleration (1689). Here is a paper by Steve Smith, "Toleration and Liberal Commitments." And, here is an interview with Stanley Fish, "There's No Such Thing as Free Speech."
Question: Which term is more often used (or misused) in law-school classes: "Lockean", "Kantian", or "Rawlsian"?
