Question

Of the three philosophers discussed (Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau),who do you most agree with regarding the state of nature and his view on the type of government that best serves mankind? Why?

Answer 1

Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau each had a unique interpretation of the social contract. One of the similarities between the three philosophers was that they believed in freedom. Even though they agree on freedom they all had different interpretations of freedom. Locke believed that freedom existed when humans were alone.
