>>"Societie's rules at times will impinge on an individual's feedom [sic]. So melding the two is what is needed, but also a dilemma." I can't speak for Koan but I've always considered Locke's treatment of enlightenment philosophy to be the hinge upon which the melding was established for our society. Jefferson placed Lockish commentary in our founding documents...with kickers from Montesque. Locke seems to have been the first to make the connection for us as a culture that human beings could not live under any sort of tyranny but must establish an authority which is agreeable to all through social contract without violating the natural rights of any one of society's members.
