Paper Summary:
This paper compares, contrasts, and expounds the philosophy of Renee Rousseau, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Friedrich Nietzsche regarding the concept of morality in humans and from where our current moral concept originated.From the Paper:
"Jean Jacques Rousseau wrote about the natural nobility and inherent goodness of the savage, whom he saw as the earliest human being who was differentiated from lower animals and already possessing free will and a basic sense of perfectibility (Wikipedia 2004). This primitive being already had and realized a basic drive to care for himself and others and felt as well as expressed compassion and pity in a natural way. Rousseau assumed that the pristine condition of the savage or the natural human as well as pre-human - state was characterized by morality, beneficence, harmony and justice rather than by raw brutality, disorder and inequality, as many have been made to believe."More papers on Morality:
