Rousseau believed that humans were inherently good and that society corrupted them, while Hobbes thought that humans were inherently selfish and violent, needing strong central authority to maintain order. Rousseau emphasized the importance of individual freedom and the social contract, while Hobbes emphasized the need for a powerful sovereign to prevent chaos and preserve order.
