Hobbes believed that man is naturally self-interested and prone to conflict, leading him to advocate for a strong government to maintain order. Rousseau, on the other hand, believed that man is naturally good but corrupted by society, and advocated for more decentralized forms of government to promote individual freedom and equality.
