  • Part Of Rousseau's Social Contract
    442 words
    Locke and Rousseau were two philosophers of the Enlightenment. Both wrote extensively and developed theories of the human nature and how men governed themselves.

  • Private And General Wills
    757 words
    Rousseau In all of the "general will's" different manifestations, it is what governs and preserves a society.
