Comparing Rousseau And Mill On Liberty

The term "liberty of citizens or society" has gained wide attention from Rousseau and Mill, but they deal with them from a slightly different point of view. Rousseau says that the fundamental problem faced by people getting out of the state of nature and entering a free and protected society is "to find the form of an association that protects and protects people and objects of each employee "I think. Together, following ourselves alone makes us more freer than ever (Rousseau 53).

The paper on Mueller 's liberty refuted the discussion of Rousseau' s concept of freedom, especially "general will". In contrast to Rousseau, Mueller 's idea is not a social contract theory. According to Mill, in order to free society, it is necessary to avoid interference with people's lives. As Mill sees, if we agree with the concept of "general intention", society may become paternalistic or "great tyranny" - that is to the opinion of a few people If you do not meet, the view is suppressed. Mostly

In this article I will discuss the relationship between freedom and authority in a paper on Jean-Jacques Rousseau's article "Social Contracts" and freedom by John Stuart Mill. I argue that through the comparison of each philosopher, Mueller's concept of freedom is more rich and persuasive. The concept of Rousseau's freedom in "social contract" is to gain freedom by people transforming from a natural state into a civil society. Abandon nature's freedom in exchange for freedom of civilization. His argument is that we are able to abide by the political authority or freedom and Rousseau believes that when it follows the author's rule, Rousseau can be subject to autonomy and law . He proved this political authority model to be reasonable by saying that the government and the law are sovereign intentions - we agree that they exist. This agreement is what Rousseau calls "general will"

Like Rousseau, Muller talked about civil or social freedom; however, unlike Rousseau, he did not speculate about the state of nature. Rather, Mill believes that his theory is not proved by utilitarianism but by comparison between the state of nature and civil society. I think that Mueller's claim is more convincing because we do not assume that we have natural rights. Mill does not seem to think we have natural rights, and Rousseau will not tell us how to decide what they are, even if you have it. Rousseau seems to think we have internal freedoms that exist in nature.
