Question

What was the ideology proposed by Rousseau??

Answer 1

J.J. Rousseau was a radical Enlightenment thinker. His works: discource on Inequality and The social Contract express the aspirations of the minor nobility he represented. Rousseau considered private property to be the source of inequality and evil in society. As such, it should be limited. He also fought for the right of all citizens to participate in political life. The state must be organized in such a way as to ensure the sovereignty of the people.

Answer 2

The ideology proposed by Rousseau

• The Necessity of Freedom

• In his work, Rousseau addresses freedom more than any other problem of political philosophy and aims to explain how man in the state of nature is blessed with an enviable total freedom.

• This freedom is total for two reasons.

• First, natural man is physically free because he is not constrained by a repressive state apparatus or dominated by his fellow men.

• Second, he is psychologically and spiritually free because he is not enslaved to any of the artificial needs that characterize modern society.

• This second sense of freedom, the freedom from need, makes up a particularly insightful and revolutionary component of Rousseau’s philosophy.

• Rousseau believed modern man’s enslavement to his own needs was responsible for all sorts of societal ills, from exploitation and domination of others to poor self-esteem and depression.

• Rousseau believed that good government must have the freedom of all its citizens as its most fundamental objective.
