Revisiting Rousseau who believed in innate goodness of human being.His famous words reveal his faith in man where he said “Man is born free but he gets enchained with the passage of time and circumstances which are inevitable and unavoidable”.I wish Rousseau is reborn to witness the plight of humans despite the varied kinds of institutions like state and forms of governments.Rousseau was optimistic beyond all possible limits to determine or define freedom.The way freedom has been abused is a poor reflection on human nature which has been the main premise of leading philosophers to design a better world for humans.Here I tend to agree with Thomas Hobbes who said “the life of man is nasty,brutish and short as long as he lives in his self created state of nature”.His distrust in goodness of human nature has stood the test of time.As humans we have failed almost all predictions made by political philosophers.The question which is a matter of concern is whether human nature has come to its nadir?
