Judas Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I can't say I really like either. I mean, on one hand I admire a lot of what John Calvin did but a lot of his stuff took the reformation to points where it didn't really need to go. And Thomas Hobbes can write as many Leviathans as he wants, the guy was obviously proto-Communist.

Hero Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 And Thomas Hobbes can write as many Leviathans as he wants, the guy was obviously proto-Communist. Hah! For all that he's commonly cited as an influence for modern democracy, the man's political theories did nothing more than describe the most advanced stage of feudalism. He made astute observations and used solid reasoning, to be sure, but feudalism! The social contract theory separates government and governed so completely that it can never be relevant in progressive post-Enlightenment political thought. John Calvin was the true proto-socialist. He condemned the decadent Catholic celebration and idolatry centuries before Marx, and the Calvinist doctrine of universal and direct connection to God predicts the Workers' and Soldiers' Soviets that finally brought the revolution to the twentieth century.

I had most of them myself I think, though the one I remember coming back to most times was "The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes". But there wasn't too much in-depth philosophy or theology in those comics. John Calvin would have disapproved, I'm sure.
