	Jean-Jacques Rousseau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rousseau's response to this prompt, answering in the negative, was his 1750 "Discourse on the Arts and Sciences", which won him first prize in the contest and gained him significant fame.
		Rousseau contended that man was good by nature, a "noble savage" when in the state of nature (the state of all the "other animals", and the condition humankind was in before the creation of civilization and society), but is corrupted by society.
		Rousseau was one of the first modern writers to seriously attack the institution of private property, and therefore is often considered a forebearer of modern socialism and communism (see Karl Marx, though Marx rarely mentions Rousseau in his writings).

		In particular, he shared with his fellow Enlightenment philosophers the faith in the existence of a "natural state" of society - which one could thereby extend to social equilibrium and "natural value" concepts - which were very much ingrained in the thinking of the Physiocrats and Adam Smith.
		The "natural state", Rousseau claimed, could only be achieved via wholesale social reform which, in its ultimate manifestation, envisioned not Hobbes's "equilibrium" of competing wants, but rather a collective state with extra-personal dedication to a "General Will".
		However, Rousseau's paranoid nature and bitterness annoyed even the good-natured Hume, and soon enough, he returned to France, where he wandered in poverty until his death in 1778.

		In part, Rousseau did not submit to the Salon as the 1848 Revolution turned the tables on the Salon jury and much to his surprise, Rousseau found himself on the committee entrusted to hang the pictures for the next public exhibition.
