ARTICLE ANNOTATION

quote
Western philosophy of the XVI-XVII centuries developed during economic growth and the increase of scientific knowledge. The theory of knowledge and natural sciences began to develop rapidly. Following F. Bacon Thomas Goose and John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau introduced progressive ideas aimed at changing society and thinking. The change in social production was accompanied by a change in public relations. Interpersonal relations were built on the basis of a social contract. And so one of the important problems for the study became the problem of the social contract. T. Gobbs, J. Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau tried to uncover the essence of civil society through the prism of their vision. Each of them put forward original ideas aimed at improving the people's way of life. In this article, we will undertake a comparative analysis of the teachings of great thinkers about society and civil society
