“The Social Contract” of Jean-Jacques Rousseau
[ send me this essay ]
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. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Morality And God
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Morality is possible only if there's a God, inasmuch as there exists no objectivity in the concept of morality; rather, it is merely a matter of opinion or feeling. Sure, people can reach consensus about empirical, scientific matters of fact. But moral matters aren't matters of fact. Indeed, people are bound to disagree with one another when it comes to issues of right and wrong, which ultimately avails only two options: one can either believe in God and know objective truth about morality, or one can abandon all belief in God as a means by which to allow the world to plummet straight into moral chaos. Can any individual truly want to live in a world in which morals are completely relative and anything is permissible? Bibliography lists 4 sources.
