The Absence of Inequality in the State of Nature and the True Nature of the Savage Man

Our artificial system weakens us and this weakness is inherently unnatural. Rousseau argued that we must evaluate and criticize barbarians in order to understand people in the state of nature, that in order to understand people's existence and survival in the state of nature . Rousseau's theory of human natural conditions explained in that he does not conform to the concept of the natural state of Hobbes' theory, the state of all wars against rock insists that individuals are reasonable Everyone is the ability to infer the human natural condition.

Natural state is a term that stands for some form of government or country without law. Rousseau believes in the natural state that humans live in harmony with nature. Rousseau will become a natural person called "savage man" that their behavior depends on their needs and that these needs are met in the case without the help of others. Because of this nature, men are peaceful and kind. In this state, men also have natural sympathy and compassion (Rousseau 163). Since humans live by themselves, no one can control it, there is no competition of power. Rousseau thinks peace is the ability to feel compassion by barbarians, in order to maintain and maintain them to control the nature of peace. However, as inequality progresses through social progress, this peace will decline.

According to Rousseau, there is no direct relationship with the man in the original natural state. Since then, barbarians are peaceful and do not have a will to hurt others. "Sorry for the natural feeling, legal moral, for virtue ... alternative substitution" that will hinder others from the danger of any barbarians (133). In contrast, civilized people seek revenge and participate in evil when judging it necessary. The more violent the civilized people, the more need for the law has arisen. These laws limit human nature and can lead to confusion, but this is not suitable for barbarians. Rousseau essentially enjoyed the idea of ​​peace and felt it was satisfactory. He believes that "love is a feeling born of the use of society" (135). In the original state of nature, emotions can not stimulate evil behavior. Barbarians are "insensitive to praise and love" (135). Instead he observes his temperament gained from only nature and all women are enough for him
