Document Summary
Rousseau wants to replace an image of mutual dependency against an image and is possessing rights that limits the functions and reach of the state. Accuses both locke and hobbes of taking civilized person and throwing them into the state of nature: removing political structures. Replacement of sensation or basic passions with knowledge: circular or dialectical between the relations and knowledge on the other, basic sensations, etc. That type of process that allows us to move from the natural condition to the social condition. Those who have acquired fortune through agricultural were rightful, triggering natural property rights. For locke, we are happy for a while, until we become enemies (again) Civilization and society corrupts us: the natural person is the happiest. Reason is what separates a person from himself.
