Liberalisim to Socialism


Its only flaw manifested in certain paradox, and however so indirectly was the cause of limitations in perception to been noted in reoccurrence. The philosophers were elite members of society, and despite the context of their messages, they were not always free from discrimination. While Voltaire spoke for the "right of the people", he also proclaimed in conceit that "it is not the laborers one should educate, but the good bourgeois, the tradesmen". Nonetheless, the philosophers claimed to be united together by a common love of truth, a passion to do good to others, and a taste for truth, goodness, and beauty.
             The theories of Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau, among other thinkers would be identified as a sometimes distorted echo throughout history. John Locke presented the reinvented theory that, symbolic of a social contract, there must be a compromise between the sovereign and his subjects whereby respect for the ruler receives an equal respect for the liberties and rights of property of his people, as opposed to a complete surrender of rights for nothing in return, in which case the contract should be dissolved. This was based on Locke's belief that all men come into the world as potential equals, and their mind like a blank page to which every impression is impacted. Montesquieu also advocated freedom and liberty that can only be achieved through legitimate rule: "Men are governed by several kinds of laws and the great worth of human reason consists in perfectly knowing to which of these orders the things that are to be determined ought to have a principal relation, and not to throw into confusion those principals which should not govern mankind." Rousseau conquered in his vision that "man is born free and everywhere he is in chains". The chains he spoke of were those of the government that people submit themselves to without justification, making them responsible for their own demise.
