Rousseau and Burke on Property
[ send me this paper ]
Edmund Burke and Jean Jacques Rousseau were contemporaries during the period of the French revolution who were on opposite sides of the philosophical battleground concerning the system of titled property that had been at the foundation of the revolt. Burke favored monarchy and defended established religion. His belief in property was based on the assumption that perpetuating property through the aristocratic families was the best way to perpetuate society. Rousseau was not a much an advocate of the Revolution as a believer that the individual had inalienable rights that entitled him to acquire property through personal endeavor, and that the inherent compassion of human nature would serve to regulate the evils thought, by Burke, to gain ascendancy if the current system should fall. This 7 page paper examines the positions each man took on the issue of property. Rousseau's position can be found within his Discourse On The Origins Of Inequality, while Burke presents his argument in his Reflections On The Revolution In France. No additional sources are listed.

Democracy
[ send me this paper ]
Democracy is commonly defined as a political process and
associated with the mechanism of electoral rule, however, it is
ineffably intertwined with the processes of government, economics and
cultural mandates. This 5 page paper argues that all three of these
great philosophers: Mill, Rousseau and Tocqueville, would agree to the
statement, 'Democracy is not a mechanical device, it is, rather, a
living organism that can only flourish in certain kinds of social soil'.

“The Social Contract” of Jean-Jacques Rousseau
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page
report discusses Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) and his
writing “The Social Contract” (1762). Rousseau was an undeniably
keen thinker and was equipped with the weapons of the
philosophical century and with an inspiring eloquence. To that
eloquence he added a pronounced egotism, self-seeking, and an
arrogance that led to bitter antagonism against his revolutionary
views and sensitive personality. The central concept in
Rousseau’s thought is “liberty,” and, as a result, most of his
works deal with the mechanisms through which humans are forced to
give up their liberty. Most modern political and social
scientists believe that it was in the publication of The Social
Contract that Rousseau reached the pinnacle of his political and
philosophical development. Pretensions of rugged individualism
and distrust of all civil authority of his early writings gave
way to the construction of a positive political society.

Permissibility of Inequality According to John Locke and Jean
Jacques Rousseau
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses how and when
inequality is permissible in human society. English philosopher,
John Locke (1632-1704) focuses primarily on the framework of

state. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
