Whoa...

So...I just read an article for my last week of core MPhil courses that I had to read at the very beginning of my core Honours BA course...which has a weird symetry all of its own.

The even stranger part is how much it may have unconsciously shaped my thinking, since I didn't really remember it super well or think it had a big influence. But it really sums up a lot of things I think I now agree with about ethics, after running around in circles about it for a term. Which makes me think either my education has caused me to come to the same conclusions about some things as Isaiah Berlin did (acceptable...) or I've wasted a lot of time in the interim.

Oh, and the article is Part VIII of Two Concepts of Liberty, entitled "The One and the Many"
