More of my Global Politics videos here! ua-cam.com/play/PL-MZyeaK_bhvgZfBQ_AfjizWO27-YzXeB.html As you can probably see, the views of all three philosophers are seen in the different ideologies we have around the world. Which philosopher's view of the social contract best reflects what we see in the world?
I see Locke and Hobbes, in liberal and iliberal democracies. But when looking at Saudi Arabia, i can't even see any traces of social contract. KSA was formed in 1932 by persecution of ex-ottoman allies. Ottomans may have had some notion of social contract, the young turks established a republic, not so liberal but far from the absolut monarchy of KSA, which seems very opposed to contractarianism. My curiosity is about Rousseau, is his philosophy some how related to anarchism?
Interesting question! I think there's a lot of debate around the connections between anarchism and Rousseau. I think the biggest way that anarchism would align with Rousseau would be in the belief that society leads to corruption, and anarchists would likely agree with Rousseau's idea of 'man is born free, but is everywhere in chains.' Where they diverge, however, is that at the end of the day, Rousseau was a social contract theorist and so believed that government was necessary. In his case, a more communal, highly participatory, government - something anarchists would disagree with.
@@madoldmanyelling6420 It seems to me his philosophy to surrender themselves to the general will, is related to oppression which leads to anarchy. The General will of who? We need laws to keep people in check, but Rousseau should have never thought that people would not see their freedom riding away, and not stand up and protest or revolt.
This 7 minute video was way more helpful than the 10 pages in my textbook about the same topic. Subbed, thanks for helping me get through my POL 101 course, hahah.

Thank you so much for this video. I've always had difficulties understanding the Jean-Jacques Rousseau's part on the social contract theory, but with this video, I understand better. I wish I found this video 3 years ago🙂
In Rousseau's theory, is 'the general will' the will of the majority, or the right thing to do so as to bring about benefits to the community as a whole? If it is the former, how do we prevent people from putting their personal interests before the public's (and perhaps harming the community while doing so)? If it is the latter, then how is it possible for us to decide what the general will should be?
This is an excellent, insightful question! Your concerns are precisely why Rousseau's philosophy is challenging to implement on a large scale. Rousseau's ideas have been interpreted in many ways. His concept of the general will is likely more aligned with your second interpretation - that it's what's best for the community, and achieved through consensus. A very difficult task the more voices you have. An example of Rousseau's 'general will' in action was the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, drafted by the French National Assembly in the early years of the French Revolution. Article six states "The law is the expression of the general will. All citizens have the right to contribute personally, or through their representatives, to its formation. It must be the same for all, whether it protects or punishes." Here, the National Assembly was interpreting it as a way for everyone to have a voice in the political process, and leaders were to incorporate citizens' ideas in the formation of law, and law should be based on this citizen voice. This again begs the question of how do you ensure lawmakers actually follow through? As the French Revolution continued, the 'general will' was interpreted to be the success of the goals of the revolution, and any 'enemies' would end up swiftly executed. In fact, Revolutionary leaders by that time, found the Declaration of the Rights of Man too much of an obstacle and suspended it entirely. In modern societies, some interpretations have leaned more towards the will of the majority having a specific voice on specific laws. We see this in the form of plebiscites, and in the United States, direct voting on propositions during elections.
Thank you very much, i'm a french student and I was sooo confused between Rousseau and Hobbes now it's way clearer even though Rousseau is still causing some problems in my head lol Have a exam tomorrow so thank you again!!

Representing the divisions between us: The Authoritarian. The Liberal. The Anarchist. They correlate with something game theory has revealed; some people are instinctually competitive (always out for self by default) and some are always cooperative, whilst a majority go either way depending on what seems to work best. I think this also relates to moral drivers - the ones who have entirely external reasons for doing good/not doing bad (they need church and state), the ones who mostly have internalised drives (good for good sake), and the ones driven largely by the desire for societal acceptance or fear of its rejection. The key point is, the authoritarian/competitive/external people have no idea that others exist, so for them, living in a world without authority is terrifying, because they think everyone will be bad because that's what they would be.
it's a really nice video and that information will help me a lot on my exam. I sadly couldn't find any videos in German but yours was just exactly what I was searching for!
Thanks a lot for this simple yet powerful explanation that is generally a thorn in most students' sides. So can these different views be considered thesis, antithesis and synthesis of the Social Contract theory? Liked and subbed!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you found my video helpful. I guess you could say they each had an antithesis of each others' theory in some way - and hopefully by weighing the strengths and weaknesses of each one, you can think of a way to synthesize those ideas. 😉
Good explanation. BTW are you wearing makeup all the time I was looking at that pink patch on your forehead it made me very curious. What is that if you don;t mind telling me?
Thanks! Political philosophy is really interesting stuff. Greek philosophy is a bit out of my area of knowledge at this point, but don't be surprised to see it at some point! Thanks for watching!
Rousseau can be the trickiest of the three to understand! In terms of the social contract, Rousseau simply believed that people need to give up their freedom for the good of the society (what he termed the general will). Only by working together can humanity reach its true potential, and that decisions would best be made by the community. His ideas, however, have historically led to tyranny and oppression, where leaders have imposed their views of what the general will should be. A major example of this was the reign of terror during the French Revolution... though this was not necessarily his intention.
Hmm, that's a tough one. Agree or disagree is tricky with Rousseau. I would argue that his idea of the social contract is unrealistic for large, modern societies. The idea of following the 'general will' for societies consisting of millions of people would be nearly impossible to accomplish - how do you determine what the 'general will' would be in a diverse society with many legitimate points of view?
The state of nature despite not being rooted in historical reality still has the capacity of explaining what happens to humans before the emergence of the state and shows the conditions under which the state was able to emerge.
I personally side with hobbes view in his state of nature - war I don’t think an absolute sovereignty is the way to create a sense of order but I do agree with his ideas on the state of nature. Can I ask if I’m wrong to think this? I know people have a right to their opinions but despite seeing the clear flowing arguments for state of nature by locke and Rousseau; I still can’t convince myself hobbes ideas are not the most accurate. How can I change my opinion?
His interpretation of Hobbs is wrong. Under Hobbs, what ever the will of the leviathan is, that will is absolute. This does NOT imply dictatorship. Hobbs was a monarchist but Liberal Democracy is perfectly compatible with his model. This would imply that what ever laws we come up with under Democracy (The leviathan), those rules are absolute so long as the remain in effect. You can not simply choose to ignore the law. Democracy offers mechanism for changing those laws, so does absolute Monarchy for that matter. But his core tenet is that so long as the States has established a law, you are subject to it and you can not choose to ignore it. Nothing about this is incompatible with Democracy.
Sad thing is....This topic was taught to us, at an Early age, an Early age where we wouldn't understand what the fuck was taught to us and we would just make fun of the name "Locke" and "Hobbes". This should've been taught to us at a much later grade in school.
"Whoever refuses to obey the general will shall be constrained to do so by the whole body, which means nothing other than that he shall be forced to be free." ~ Rousseau.
