I think a lot of the philosophes who advocated for change were or would have been (if they were alive) stunned and horrified by the bloodshed that their ideas helped to cause, especially with the French Revolution.]]> 2017-02-24 18:49:01 UTC https://padlet.com/polinmat/dwrr873l65cx/wish/156114364 polinmat https://padlet.com/polinmat/dwrr873l65cx/wish/156115531 Hobbes' beliefs weren't radical per se, so he was off the hook until later in his life when he offered criticism of things like absolute monarchy.

But there were just as many examples of violence toward other groups as well. There is no consistent pattern as a nation might have a monarch who is tolerant, but then next monarch might not be.]]> 2017-02-24 18:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/polinmat/dwrr873l65cx/wish/156117156
