When comparing Rousseau to Hobbes and Locke‚ the differences in their ideologies are prominent‚ however‚ they are still similar in some ways. In the State of Nature according to Rousseau‚ “man’s natural sentiment was that of his existence‚ his first care that of his preservation” (Discourse‚ Part II). This man is known as the “nascent man” and is often contrasted with the “savage man”‚ who exists in civilized society. In this State of Nature‚ man’s primary concern is to look after himself‚ similar

Since there were more discoveries in science‚ European thinkers such as Hobbes‚ Locke‚ and Wollstonecraft had huge impacts on the government and human life. They each had their separate ways of thinking and perusing things. Human life was obviously the problem and each of them had different perspectives on dealing with the issue.

The world today is a combination‚ a blend of the two extremes fleshed out by the four authors we studied. St. Thomas and Locke display a world viewed through rose colored glasses. As much as people today want to believe that everyone exhibits behavior that Locke and St. Thomas consider good if they are left to their own devices with only laws to keep them in place‚ it is an unrealistic view of the world as we know it. In order for the world to run effectively‚ people have adopted a system closer
