    John Locke (1632-1704) and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) are among the most prominent influential thinkers of the enlightenment era. Both Locke and Rousseau argued that we gain civil rights in return for respecting the rights of others and by doing so‚ we gave up our natural rights. In this paper‚ I will argue how an agreement among members to start a social contract was driven by fear and the desire to change the world for self-interest. Social contract theory‚ is the view that a persons’

    John Locke Vs. Bernard Williams In this essay‚ I will be explaining John Locke’s case of the prince and the cobbler and Bernard Williams’s second description of the A-body person and the B-body person.

Plato puts ultimate power in those with the highest knowledge. I feel that this concept is necessary in order to have a successful regime‚ thus I support in my argument. Plato’s theory hand picks guardians to become Philosopher Kings. These kings are those with "Gold" Souls‚ and in fact do not wish to become such a hierarchal figure. Plato chooses Guardians who

He has no way of knowing what he has done or what has happened since his accident‚ and according to Locke and Hume this means he is no longer one individual‚ rather changing constantly with his memories.
