“I cared little for any of Rousseau's solutions to solving problems. It's strange to me how he can have a pretty good take on life before civilization, but then his ideas on the general will be so unrealistic.
But out of the political philosophers I was required to study, I think Rousseau was one of the most correct on human nature. Especially his thoughts on property being an invention of society. He asks lots of interesting questions that provide tons of fodder for scholars to muse over for years to come, but his proposed solutions to things are hardly applicable to the world today.”
