The Greater Good of Society Verses Individualism
His views off the war declare and nature state. He greatly believed in democracy and equality among man. He believed in the triad states of democracy which are a state of equality, state of liberty, and a state of nature. Locke believed that unrivalled man comes by a power of another and in doing so creates a perfect society. Lockes view of society differs from the philosopher Thomas Hobb, but harmonise with Mill. He believes that a man in his natural state is press by laws, but could eventually do whatever he pleases.The state of nature is to ensure refuge so the nature of war is ot reached, so no man volition step out of his state and peril another mans state. Also if the natural rights of freedom are broken a state of war is reached. Locke views an individual to be more important than society. Individuals leash the way of which society is going, and where they will go. Because an individuals creates history, while humanity follows. For example Martine Luther queen regna nt had one dream, this one mans view and opinion caused an outcry to America for alteration and change did come. If individuals state of nature or freedom there will be a state of war among man.In conclusion all three philosophers all had similar ideas. They all believed that an individual is greater than society. But is that of necessity correct. One man is more important than humanity, and humanity is beneath an individual. mill concept of happiness virtually ruining the good of mankind. While Locke viewed mans safety of their natural state an essential rule of mankind, which prevents the nature of war. The last philosopher Hobbs had an idea that in order for mankind to function, the individual most do two thing. One could together to form a common bound, and two, be all told happy. But who is more important, you or mankind?
