Despite his rejection of philosophy‚ Jean-Jaques Rousseau was a pivotal new thinker during the period of Enlightenment. He strayed from the extreme positive and negative views of Hobbes and Locke‚ introducing a new perspective on the concept of the state of nature. The philosophy of how humans act in their most natural state was a common topic‚ but Rousseau’s take‚ theorizing that humans are born evil but corrupted by society‚ offered what seemed to be the most realistic belief.

As an environmentalist‚ John Locke believed that the human mind‚ from birth‚ was a tabula rasa‚ a blank slate. He refuted innate ideas such as mathematic certainties and religious beliefs‚ and instead‚ theorized that as a child‚ all reason and knowledge developed from social surroundings.

Initially‚ Hobbes believed that in a state of nature‚ all men would turn ‘nasty and brutish’ and life would turn into a never-ending cycle of crime and war as there would be no one there to stop us. On the contrary‚ Locke believed that man would be content in a state of nature‚ that life would be the opposite of awful and we would act morally towards each other due to the social contract.
