Rousseau Vs Self Interest And Progress
1,522 words
Rousseau vs. self-interest and progress In The
Social Contract, Rousseau asserts the idea of the
people's General Will being the ideal governing
force of the state. This idea is essentially the
total alienation of each individual to the entire
community, thus constructing the Sovereign. The
collective body rules in the common interest,
acting without individual bias or selfish
concerns, to decide the laws that the Sovereign
itself is to follow. However rightly intended,
this concept is flawed be...

great evil and won't do right unless he is bribed

poem Passage to India, written in 1871, proves the
validity of this statement to the full extent,
because it is essentiall...

differences between religions in the course of
world history. According to Kant world history is
moving towards a growing community of nations. But
this process, however positive for excluding the

mean that despotism will rule the world. The call

1,524 words
In his most famous book On the Origin of Species,
Darwin included four major arguments: that new
species appear; that these new species have
evolved from older species; that the evolution of
species is the result of natural selection; and
that natural selection depends upon variations and
the maintenance of variation in spite of the
tendency of natural selection to eliminate unfit
variants (403). After Charles Darwin published On
the Origin of Species in 1859, Herbert Spencer
(1820 - 1903) took ...
