Today we will continue the series that will lead us to the philosophical background that drives our professorship today. You'll recall in episode 62, we reviewed the start and results of the reformation. And last week we moved into the 1600s to about 1650, to discuss the results of the Thirty years war and an emerging science as well as the radically new philosophical writings of the time. Today, on the docket is the late 1600s until about 1715. We will explore the widespread popularity of John Locke and Jean Rousseau, and the rise of King Louis XIV, the greatest King in the History of Kings. This will eventually help us decipher the background of the Crime of the Century.
