in Ishmael, a collection of new ideas about man,
his evolution, and the destiny that keeps him

The state of nature, as described by Locke, is a
state of perfect freedom, a state in which man is
completely free, but would Rousseau agree with
this? The answer to this question is more complex
than it seems. Locke and Rousseau, both great
philosophers of their time, have similar ideas,
but the similarities between them end at that.
