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. In 1740, he entered Balliol College, Oxford. By 1748, he started delivering public lectures. 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.

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.

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.
