Document Summary

Course: taking big names and big ideas. Ideas are too familiar to us so we do not recognize the importance of them at the time: responsible for the term noble savage although did not use this term himself. More gentle: the first anthropologist, quite scientific, trying to find out where were went wrong, responsible for the term alienation defining in a purely secular way. We are alienated from nature, society and ourself (the worse of all) Seeing a danger in being out there, losing your independence: dead before the french revolution happened, although he was recognized as the social constructs (not by nature or god) No one can justify they are from god. We all have natural differences aristotle: capacity of suffering is the bottom line for rousseau, we live in a state of unfreedom and inequalities and those inequalities are all.
