Jean-Jacques Rousseau is among the leading political philosophers of the Enlightenment. He sought to ground his political theory in an understanding of human nature, which he believed to be basically good. Here self-interest degenerated into a state of war from which humanity could only be extricated by the imposition of a contract.
