Ralph               Waldo               Emerson
Ruth               Haskin               gave               birth               to               Ralph               Waldo               Emerson               on               Many               25,               1803.

Ralph               Waldo               Emerson's               father,               William               Emerson               died               of               stomach               cancer               when               he               was               only               eight               years               old.

He               entered               Harvard               at               the               age               of               fourteen               and               was               a               preacher               at               the               age               of               23.

He               married               Ellen               Lousisa               Tucker               in               1827,               who               died               of               tuberculosis               after               two               years.

In               1832,               Emerson               resigned               as               clergyman               and               went               to               Europe               where               he               met               William               Wordsworth.

He               went               back               to               the               United               States               in               1834.

He               published               Nature               in               1836.
Emerson               is               known               as               a               religious               philosopher               who               led               Transcendentalism               as               a               movement               to               go               beyond               the               limitations               imposed               by               the               society               and               culture.

The               movement               believed               that               the               dogmas               imposed               by               religion               are               "destructive               to               human               freedom               of               thought"               (Von               Dehsen               p.

59).

Emerson               coined               the               term               "Oersoul"               to               refer               to               the               consciousness               of               the               universe               that               can               be               reached               through               transcendentalism.
He               was               influenced               by               "Isaac               Newton's               mechanical               physic               and               John               Locke's               psychology               of               sensation"               (Von               Dehsen               p.

59).

He               promotes               individualism               that               stresses               the               importance               of               independence               and               self-reliance.

On               April               27,               1882               Emerson               died               in               Concord,               Massachusetts.

He               was               renowned               for               two               ideas               that               outlined               his               philosophy.

The               first               is               concerned               with               the               relation               of               human               spirit               with               nature.

The               second               is               the               destructive               effect               of               religious               dogmas               and               social               conventions               to               individual               freedom               and               understanding.
Emerson's               philosophy               influenced               Anne               Naess,               who               started               the               Deep               Ecology               movement.

It               also               helps               with               the               creation               of               Existentialism               that               stresses               the               importance               of               responsibility               and               ability               to               choose.

His               poems               published               in               May-Day               greatly               influenced               Walt               Whitman,               Gettrude               Stein,               Robert               Frost,               and               Frank               Lloyd               Wright.

Emerson               also               influenced               Friedrich               Wilhelm               Nietzsche               who               attacked               the               Christian               God               in               his               essay,               "Religious               Mood?"               Michael               de               Montaigne               
               Born               in               Bordeaux,               to               a               family               of               public               servants               on               February               28,               1533,               Michael               Eyquem               de               Montaigne               lived               in               the               period               of               French               Renaissance.

His               mother               was               Spanish-Jewish               Antoinette               de               Louppes               and               his               father,               Pierre               Eyquem               de               Montaigne               was               French.

Nevertheless,               Montaigne               was               raised               by               a               village               mother               and               lived               among               the               tenants               of               his               father's               estate               for               the               first               three               years               of               his               life.

He               lived               in               his               father's               house               with               tutor               and               servants               who               only               speak               Latin.

He               entered               College               of               Guyene               to               learn               Latin               in               1539               under               George               Buchanan.

He               finished               his               studies               in               his               13th               year.

Two               of               Montaigne's               early               essay               criticized               the               educational               system               of               College               de               Guyenne.

When               he               was               24,               he               met               Estienne               de               la               Boetie,               who               had               been               his               closest               friend.

In               1565               he               married               Francoise               de               la               Cassaigne.

In               1572,               Montagne               began               writing               Essays,               which               was               published               in               1580.


               In               Essay,               Montaigne               studied               himself,               by               questioning               his               opinions               and               nature.

He               reflect               on               his               readings               and               write               freely.

He               is               known               for               fideism               and               modern               skepticism.

He               criticized               man's               superiority               and               corruption               of               being.

He               is               skeptic               about               most               people               because               they               are               merely               maintaining               appearances               to               please               others.

He               uses               skepticism               as               a               method               to               search               for               truth               and               the               authentic               self.


               Montaigne               influenced               Descartes               with               his               self-questioning               method.

He               also               influenced               Pascal's               doubt               about               religion.

Emerson               was               affected               by               his               self-reliance.


               Plato               
               Plato               was               considered               as               the               most               influential               Greek               philosopher.

He               was               a               student               of               Socrates               and               the               teacher               of               Aristotle.

He               was               born               in               Athens               on               427               BC               and               he               died               in               347               BC.

Socrates               died               when               Plato               was               more               or               less               30               years               old.

He               travelled               to               Egypt               and               Sicily               after               Socrates               death.

He               returned               to               Athes               on               385               BC.

His               dialogues               reflect               his               personal               philosophy               and               the               life               and               ideas               of               his               mentor.

Plato's               social               philosophy               is               reflected               with               his               utopian               state               laid               down               in               his               most               famous               writing               "The               Republic".

It               is               based               on               the               ideas               that               justice               as               doing               one's               duty.

In               this               early               state,               Plato               proposed               the               idea               of               division               of               labor.

The               ruler               must               be               the               philosopher               king               who               was               a               member               of               the               guardians.

Plato               influenced               a               lot               of               philosopher               such               as               Saint               Augustine               and               Aristotle.

Aristotle               rejects               the               theory               of               forms,               which               is               fundamental               to               Plato's               philosophy.

Neo-Platonist,               such               as               Plotinus               were               responsible               for               the               reorganization               of               Platonic               thoughts.


               Aristotle               
               Aristotle               was               the               student               of               Plato               and               the               mentor               of               Alexander               the               Great.

He               was               born               on               382               BC               in               Stagira,               Greece.

At               the               age               of               18,               he               enrolled               in               Plato's               Academy.

After               Plato's               death,               he               went               to               Assos               and               Lesbos.

He               became               the               tutor               of               Alexander               of               Macedonia               in               342.

By               355               he               returned               to               Athens               and               founded               the               Lyceum.

After               12               years               Alexander               died,               which               caused               the               hostility               of               Athenians               towards               Aristotle.

He               fled               to               Chalcis               and               died               in               322               BC.

His               disciple,               Theophrastus               was               responsible               for               the               propagation               of               his               ideas               after               his               death.


               Aristotle               was               known               for               creating               the               system               of               logic               found               in               the               Organon.

The               logic               that               he               developed               is               now               known               as               syllogism.

He               formulated               four               causes:               the               material               cause,               formal               cause,               efficient               cause,               and               final               cause.

These               causes               were               used               by               Thomas               Aquinas               to               prove               the               existence               of               God.

Aristotle               perceives               the               polis               as               composed               of               smaller               associations.

The               association               of               household,               of               slaves,               and               of               the               king.

Aristotle's               basic               political               social               tenets               lie               on               the               idea               of               temperance.

Aristotle               believes               that               the               best               form               of               government               is               that               with               a               large               middle               class.


               POLITICAL               PHILOSOPHERS               
               Adam               Smith               
               Adam               Smith               was               the               son               of               a               customs               controller               at               Kirkcaldy,               Scotland.

At               the               age               of               fourteen,               Smith               studied               moral               philosophy               in               the               University               of               Glasglow               under               Francis               Hutchson.

He               became               the               chair               of               logic               at               the               University               of               Glasglow               in               1751               and               Chair               of               Moral               Philosophy               in               1752.

He               published               Theory               of               Sentiments               in               17759.


               Thomas               Hobbes               
               Thomas               Hobbes               was               the               first               social               contract               theories               that               defended               the               divine               right               of               the               king               without               appeal               to               religious               principles.

He               was               the               son               of               a               clergyman.

Hobbes               grew               up               in               a               poor               family               at               Westport,               Wiltshire.

Thomas               Hobbes               attended               the               Magdalen               Hall               in               Oxford.

He               completed               his               Bachelor's               degree               in               1608               and               was               the               tutor               of               William               Cavendish'               son.

Hobbes               and               young               Cavendish               toured               Frane               and               Italy               in               1614.

In               1626               young               Cavendish               died.

Hobbes               became               the               tutor               of               Sir               Gervase               Clifton's               son.

Hobbes               became               acquainted               with               Euclid's               Elements               and               was               enticed               by               the               deductive               logic.

In               1637,               Hobbes               retired               as               a               tutor               and               decided               to               pursue               philosophy.

1637               is               wthin               the               Thirty               Years'               Wars               in               Europe,               implying               that               the               social               and               political               milieu               surrounding               Hobbes               is               unstable.

The               method               of               philosophizing               the               origin               of               the               state               could               be               essential               in               determining               whether               power               must               reside               to               the               government               or               to               the               people.


               In               1651,               Hobbes               published               the               Leviathan.

It               argued               that               the               government               is               formed               as               a               contract               between               the               members               of               the               society               to               protect               each               other               against               the               state               of               nature.

Hobbes               further               stated               that               man               is               naturally               selfish.

Without               a               government               and               a               sovereign,               the               people               will               live               in               constant               fear               and               chaos.

Hobbes               supposed               that               the               Leviathan               must               be               an               absolute               sovereign               that               cannot               be               overthrown.

Hobbes               influenced               the               social               contract               theorist's:               Rousseau               and               Locke.

He               also               influenced               Montesquiee.

American               political               thinkers               also               used               Hobbes               theory               to               promote               their               ideas.

Jeremy               Bentham               and               JS               Mill               argued               that               consequences               determines               the               morality               of               an               act,               reflects               Hobbesian               idea               of               human               nature.


               John               Locke               
               He               was               born               in               Somerset,               England               in               1632.

He               was               the               eldest               son               of               John               Locke               Sr.

Locke               attended               Westminister               school               in               London               to               study               medicine,               then               Christ               Church               in               1651               to               study               philosophy.

He               was               a               physician               in               1667.

In               1683,               Locke               went               to               Holland.

He               returned/               to               England               in               1689.


               Locke               was               well-known               for               his               liberalism.

He               was               also               against               the               idea               that               kings               have               divine               right               because               individual               rights               are               natural               rights.

He               is               famous               for               "life,               liberty,               and               property"               (Vn               Dehsen,               115).

Similar               to               Hobbes,               Locke               argued               that               the               government               is               created               by               the               people               to               preserve               society.


               Locke               states               that               liberty               denotes               the               preservation               of               individual               rights.

Locke               believes               that               knowledge               comes               from               sensation               and               perception.

He               influenced               Hume               and               Berkeley.

Until               today,               Hume's               liberal               philosophy               is               still               important               for               democratic               societies.

Thomas               Jefferson               used               Lockean               concepts               to               justify               revolution.
               John               Stuart               Mill               
               In               May               20,               1806               John               Stuart               Mill               was               born               in               Pentonville,               London.

His               father               was               James               Mill,               a               supporter               of               Bentham's               utilitarian               philosophy.

His               mother               was               Harriet               Barrow.

JS               Mill               was               educated               in               Greek               at               the               age               of               three.

When               he               was               eight,               he               was               taught               Latin.

By               the               age               of               fourteen,               he               already               read               classical               literature,               studied               Newton,               logic,               math,               economic               theories               and               legal               philosophy.

During               his               teenage               years,               he               studied               metaphysics.

At               the               age               of               17,               he               already               has               a               position               in               the               East               India               Company.

In               1826               he               suffered               depression               and               was               cured               by               Wordsworth's               poetry.

In               1828,               Mill               was               given               the               chance               to               study               Auguste               Comte               and               Coleridge.

Mill               was               acquainted               with               the               role               of               institutions               in               the               development               of               society.

Mill               met               Harriet               Taylor               in               1830               and               married               her               in               1851.


               JS               Mill               argued               that               government               must               have               the               greatest               utility.

Governments               must               help               each               citizen               to               develop               their               potentials               and               achieve               happiness.

Power               must               only               be               exercised               for               the               purpose               of               preventing               another               person               from               being               harmed.

This               maxim               is               generally               known               as               the               harm               principle.

The               rigid               upbringing               by               his               father               resulted               in               his               adherence               to               individuality.

He               argued               that               a               person               must               be               left               to               decide               on               his               own               and               that               the               individual               must               be               responsible               for               his               decisions.

The               person               must               learn               to               create               his               personal               beliefs               and               not               merely               to               follow               what               is               customary               or               what               other               people               assert               as               right.

He               suggests               that               one               must               be               free               to               do               what               he               wants               as               long               as               his               action               has               no               detrimental               effect               to               others.

His               concept               of               individuality               is               largely               affected               by               Emerson's               ideas.

His               utilitarian               concepts               are               influenced               by               James               Mill               and               Jeremy               Bentham.


               Jean               Jacques               Rousseau               
               He               was               a               political               philosopher               born               during               the               Enlightenment               period.

He               is               another               social               contract               theorist.

He               was               born               on               June               28,               1712               at               Geneva,               Switzerland.

His               father               was               a               watchmaker.

At               the               age               of               16,               he               was               taken               by               Barone               Louise               de               Warrens.

She               was               her               mentor,               as               well               as               lover.

He               developed               close               friendship               with               denis               Diderot               when               he               went               to               Paris               in               1743.

He               published               A               Discourse               on               Sciences               and               the               Arts               in               1750.

In               1756               he               settled               in               Montmorency.

By               1762               he               published               Emile,               which               discussed               a               theory               of               education               that               focused               on               developing               the               child's               feelings               before               engaging               in               intellectual               pursuit.

According               to               Rousseau,               when               the               citizens               gave               up               their               rights,               the               General               Will               emerges.

He               was               influenced               by               Locke,               hobbes,               Thoreau,               and               Emerson.


               Karl               Marx               
               Karl               Marx               was               born               in               Trier,               German               Rhineland               in               1818.

He               studied               law               in               Bonn               and               Berlin.

His               thesis               was               a               comparison               of               the               philosophy               of               Democritus               and               Epicurus.

In               1843,               he               wrote               "On               the               Jewish               Question".

In               1845,               he               co-authored               The               German               Ideology               with               Engels.


               His               political               philosophy               is               known               as               Marxism.

It               is               a               criticism               of               capitalism               with               the               view               that               the               upper               class               that               constitute               the               minority               exploits               the               majority.

He               argued               that               the               process               of               production               must               be               socialized               to               help               people               use               the               private               properties               that               lay               barren               and               wasted.

Moreover,               Karl               Marx               believed               that               history               is               a               struggle               between               the               classes               in               the               Society.

To               this,               Marx               is               encouraging               the               proletarians               to               revolt               against               the               upper               class               to               facilitate               the               equal               distribution               of               resources.

Marx               influenced               several               communist               and               socialist               leaders               who               reject               capitalism.
