There’s was a time that The Dark Ages took fear in people's life but in the late 17th and 18th century The Enlightenment Ages was born. In Europe, well known philosophers from all over the world help the world with new ideas and invention that changed people's point of views and people's principles. The philosophers that really took the world by storm with the ideas and views were Voltaire, Adam Smith, Mary Wollstonecraft, and John Locke.

Locke’s definition of property does not only include physical goods but also encompasses human rights such as the “right to life and liberty”. Under a system of restricted government the state would have minimal intervention with issues relating to personal liberties and would be constitutionally prevented from doing so. The ideal system under which governments could protect the human rights or legal rights of individuals would be an interventionist system under which the government would not be…

Europe went through a period of Enlightenment. At this time a French philosopher named Jean-Jacques Rousseau developed the Social Contract theory also known as contractarianism. Contractarianism is the theory that a contract binds the government with all members of society. Jean Jacques Rousseau’s theory of contractarianism was a major influence on the French Revolution. The Social Contract was Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s way to explain his views on how a political community should be settled. In…

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, in Phenomenology of Spirit, discusses a “Lordship and Bondage” dialectic, in which the politics of recognition are explored through mutual recognition. Simone de Beauvoir, in her introduction to The Second Sex, uses Hegel’s dialectic to emphasize the master-slave relationship between men and women; women, like the bondsman, become “Others” through binaries in relation to men, forcing them into a being-for-other consciousness (Beauvoir 14-15). Similarly, Frantz…

Modern day society is comprised of humans who have progressed from the original state of nature. In this civilization process, inequalities of rank, power, wealth and sexes have resulted. For Rousseau, the activation of the dormant reason, as the society emerged from the state of nature to civil state gave rise to the inequalities. While Rousseau blames the reason, Wollstonecraft arguing for the women, encourages them to use reason to bring down the oppression, which is largely due to deficient…

Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s “The Origin of Civil Society” is similar to Eugéne Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People because they both emphasize a united people as well as stress the importance of the government replying to the people. However, while Rousseau discusses the relationship between ruler and subjects as an agreement, Delacroix depicts it as a power struggle. Although the two works are similar, Rousseau believes that the ruler and subjects enter an agreement in order to decide who is in…

John Locke, a famous philosopher helped society assert their right in government. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a French philosopher, stated that society should be ruled by a general will of people. The Enlightenment heavily impacted the society and also helped out the American…

John Locke, who was an English philosopher and physician, wrote the Second Treatise of Government. The Second Treatise of Government focused on having sovereignty into the hands of people and believes there are two states: state of nature and state or war. Locke strongly believed in human rights, equality, and the labor theory of value. However, Niccolò Machiavelli, who wrote, The Prince, emphasized on having a government with a ruler having absolute total power over its people. Machiavelli…

relationship through a comparison with Katherine and Petruchio’s tumultuous entanglement in Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. In this way, Bechdel fills the lack of affection with her parents with literary representations. Similarly, in Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Confessions, he loses his mother in childbirth, meaning his mother is literally absent from his entire life. However, Rousseau and his father retain a connection to the mother by reading her book collection. They read with veracity…
