Freud and Marx Hey! I got an A- on this paper‚ so I guess it’s pretty good! I put my own personal spin to it in that not only did I compare Freud and Marx’s viewpoints‚ I stated that perhaps what they saw in society was just a reflection of their own biases and personal inner feelings.

Task 1: While some may argue the protagonist of Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is Bernard Marx‚ the true conflict in the novel surrounds the character John‚ often referred to as the Savage as he was born outside of “civilization” (121). With long‚ pale blonde hair in braids and pale blue eyes‚ the protagonist had striking looks. His skin was white‚ though bronzed by the sun‚ and his overall tall frame had an endearing‚ wild look that caught the eye of many women in this novel. Concerning his character

Hobbes’ Leviathan is divided into four parts: Of Man‚ Of Commonwealth‚ Of a Christian Commonwealth‚ and Of the Kingdom of Darkness. Overall Hobbes tried to explain the reasons a commonwealth may govern men‚ and how to create the best way for this type government to function in order to contain the desires of its denizens. Leviathan represents a key turning point in Hobbes’s perspectives on religion‚ since for the first time he becomes fully aware of what may be called the political problem of religion

“qualities that dispose rational men to peace and obedience” (Hobbes‚ Leviathan‚ xxvi).

Every man that has sufficiently cultivated his reasoning faculties should‚ in Hobbes’ appraisal‚ be well aware of the Laws of Nature and inclined

Rousseau formulated his theory in the middle of the French Enlightenment and the same theory breathed life into the intellectual basis for the French
