I have an essay on this topic which I have rewritten about 5 times - consistently getting a C. This is what I have so far. Correct, elaborate, elucidate please. (H=Hobbes, R=Rousseau)
H: people driven by their passions
R: ???
H: human nature is a problem to be solved with a proper government
R: human nature is good; government should not restrain it
H: restrict man's passions
R: preserve natural freedom
I am so lost in how to compare. If there is a knowledgeable gentleman who is willing to dedicate some time to this, I will reward you in some way.
