Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Burke and J.S.Mill

Today, I want to introduce five well know philosophers in the world who are also going to be our main people to be analyzed in my course.

First, I will tell you Thomas Hobbes. He was an English philosopher from the late 16 century to the late 17 century. He is today best remembered for his work on political philosophy. However, he contributed to the other fields of study,too. Do you know his famous book? It's Leviathan which is just the book we will read in the class, I think. And someone else, we will study John Locke and his work called Two Treaties of Civil Government, Rousseau and his work called Discourse on the Orgin and Foundation of Inquality Among Men. There are two more philosophers we will serch for. They are Burke and his work named Reflections on the Revolution in France and J.S. Mill and his work called On Liberty.

For further information, I will write about them later.

See you,

Misaki
