Social Contract :)
Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a major Enlightenment thinker who believed in the concept of the social contract, where individuals in society agree to be governed by the general will of the people. He emphasized the importance of individual freedom, equality, and the idea that true happiness comes from living in harmony with nature and embracing a simpler way of life. Rousseau also critiqued the role of society in corrupting human beings and advocated for a more democratic and egalitarian society.
Hobbes believed in a social contract that necessitated a strong central authority to maintain order and prevent chaos. Rousseau, on the other hand, emphasized the importance of individual freedom and the idea of the general will, where decisions are made collectively for the common good. They both had differing views on the nature of human beings and the role of government in society.
Well Rousseau was dead by the time Dostoevsky wrote C&P, so....
