Rousseau and Hume on Justice and Property
Number of pages:
6
ABSTRACT:
This 6 page report discusses the differences between the opinions of Jean Jacques Rousseau and David Hume regarding the relationship between justice and property. Hume understood the establishment of a system of morality on utility and human sentiments, without appeal to divine moral commands. Critics of the time criticized Hume's theory for being sinfully godless. Rousseau claimed that science, art, and social institutions have corrupted humankind and that the primitive state is morally superior to the civilized state. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
