On Rousseau, I’ve heard that the modern interpretation is that he sort of aimlessly said human’s are born good and everything else around the human sort of “corrupts” them.

I’ve only really heard about Rousseau through listening to Jordan Peterson though, and Peterson is a staunch critic of him I believe, throws him in the post-modern, everything in society is based around power type camp.

Reading a bit about Hume, he seems a bit more like a traditional libertarian, Scottish enlightenment type, and it looks like Hume got a sour taste for Rousseau after some time.

What’s your understanding of that whole ordeal?
