    Napoleon

    POSTED AT 07:24 AM

    The Enlightened Philosophes

    POSTED AT 09:29 AM

    In this chapter will will be covering several individuals that have differing opinions on society and government.  In this blog I would like for you to think about your view on society and government.  What do you think about society and human nature?  Do you agree with Locke and feel that people are inherently good, or do you believe that people are greedy and corrupt as Hobbes felt?  How do you feel about government?  Should everyone in society have a say in their government or should everyone have to listen to an absolute leader?  Please explain and expand upon your answers to these questions.  If you read about a philosophe that you agree with then mention that individual in your post.
