Order Description

If you paraphrase, you must still place the publication’s page numbers from where the paraphrase was taken and also list from which publication within the Reference page.

For this question, choose three philosophers from the list below who have concerned themselves with the “social contract theory.” Compare the way each philosopher thinks about the state of nature—what life is like in the natural state, what capacities do humans have, or not have, etc. How do these philosophers differ in their understandings of the state of nature? In turn, how do these differences influence the kind of social contract advocated by these philosophers?
