Sexual Equality And Rousseau
[ send me this paper ]
The writings of Rousseau form a
significant component of the political philosophies that have guided the
establishment and form of government in the United States. This 5 page
paper argues that Rousseau's discourse on inequality can be seen to
present the argument that civil society, as opposed to the natural state
of man, must acknowledge the equality of the sexes inasmuch as the rules
that once governed man in his natural state are no longer applicable.

“The Social Contract” of Jean-Jacques Rousseau
[ send me this paper ]
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.

Morality And God
[ send me this paper ]
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.
