John Locke- carried over political philosophy from the middle ages. he took a general view of human nature, meaning that moderate religion was a good thing and people could could learn from experiences and could be educated to an enlightened way of life. these ideas favored a belief in self government. people in "state of nature" were reasonable and well disposed willing to get along with one another though handicapped by the absence of public authority.

Thomas Hobbes- a phosiphist who held to materialistic things and an atheistic system. he believed that humans had no capacity for self government, his opinion of human nature was low, he believed the people in the "state of nature" (to exist without government) were quarrelsome and turbulent forever locked in a war of all against all
