The political handling of conflict presupposes its own standards. These are less precise than the technical languages of law and economics, and there is a persistent danger that the political realm be colonized by the standards of legality or economic efficiency. This lecture explores the tension, relying on Aquinas’s account of law, and drawing on his analogical discussion of the many types of law to underline the importance of preserving a distinct realm of political reasonableness as a requirement of the common good.

The introduction of modern education in Nepal is widely understood by scholars to have taken place in the 1950s, primarily under the direction of Western actors. While useful in describing the significant expansion of modern education in Nepal from the 1950s onwards, this perspective nevertheless overlooks earlier efforts by Nepalis to develop a modern education system in the early twentieth century.
