Philosophers on Humans and Society

Thomas Hobbes John Locke Jacques Rousseau

The Social Contract

Thomas Hobbes
For him, persons in their natural state are
governed by their desire and these often lead to
conflict with their fellowmen.

Individuals who establish societies enter into a social

contract –an agreement where individuals sacrifice an
amount of their freedom to a higher authority.
The Social Contract

John Locke
He considered persons in their natural state as
more cooperative and reasonable, and that
society is formed through the consent of
individuals that organized it.

The consent of the governed argued that a

government exists to serve the people, who are all
equal citizens, and the people have the right to rebel if
the government fails at this duty.
The Social Contract

Jacques Rousseau He believed that even if the people are the ones
who organized society and established an
authority, the government is able to impose its
will on the people.

Rousseau tied the concept of general will directly to

sovereignty. True sovereignty did not imply simply
having power over the rest of society, but was always
directed at the public good. The general will,
therefore, infallibly pursued the benefit of the people.
