I appreciate the depth of your reflections on Tonsor's course. I recall, in particular, how he valued allowing various intellectual figures to speak for themselves rather than imposing interpretations of their views. While respecting his perspective, as an impatient young man, I was sometimes frustrated by this approach. Yet, over the years I have somewhat matured and appreciate how his approach reflected the deep understanding that comes from serious investment. thanks again for your insightful commentary.
