Thoughts from yesteryear about equality and diversity...what are yours?
Delivering a philosophy course the other day, our lead trainer William got delegates to juxtapose modern definitions of equality and diversity with voices from the past. Here's our interesting range of quotes -what do you think? Why not add to the listings from past times
"Common bonds of humanity more important than the boundaries of sovereign states"
John Locke
"It will avail the state nothing if it permits no experiments but its own"
John Stuart Mill
"Participation in decisions aids their acceptance"
Jeremy Bentham
Those remarkable women who started the Letterbox Library have,of course,built upon these foundations by drilling down even further into English history with examples of female and BME pioneers centuries ago.
So - proud of our past - faith in our future? Discuss...........
