Human And Savage Man Rousseau Analysis

Nature of Human and Savage Man Thomas Hobbes is a philosopher who wrote Leviathan and claims that men are equal when they were in natural condition. Jean Jack Rousseau is another philosopher who claims men are composed of two classes when the state was established: poor and rich. At first blush, Hobbes and Rousseau is appearing too different since they have been. Namely, However, equality causes evil in Hobbes ' theory. However, in Rousseau 's inequality, there is benevolence. Their assumptions about the state of nature have huge differences. They are the almost antithesis of each other. According to my approach, the human can not be as bad as Hobbes ' claim. However, there is not sufficient reason to contract in Rousseau 's

He describes man self centered. In fact, I assume that Rousseau thinks that human is moral all the time. However, he claimed that human is not moral, although is not moral. He is amoral. I am closer to Rousseau in this argument. Moreover, according to me human has moral behavior more in nature condition. All of our behaviours ' origins are nature. In addition to that people can control their appetites by support of moral sentiments. Compassion is only one of
