Ep. 70 Enlightenment Political Philosophy: Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau
Manage episode 383684605 series 3364135
At one point in history, European countries were ruled by monarchs. The Catholic Church also exerted a great deal of control. And our physical explanations for why nature is comprised the way it is relied on metaphysical explanations reliant on God. Then enter the Enlightenment. Thinkers like Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau were instrumental in this transition from Medieval conceptions of the divine rights of kings and original sin to that of representative governments, rights, and human nature. Join us as we explore this trifecta of influential philosophers. We also talk about what is our Roman Empire, build-a-bear, and asparagus.
