Resumo: One of the common characteristics of early modern Western European philosophers is the emphasis on freedom and equality. Philosophers of this period looked for answers to “what is freedom and equality?” and realized freedom and equality into fundamental human rights. From John Locke to Montesquieu and Jean Jacques Rousseau, all consider freedom and equality as natural rights of human beings. Rousseau’s concept of freedom and equality is reflected in The Social Contract. At the beginning of this work, he commented with a famous opening line, “Man is born free, but is everywhere in chains.” That is the fundamental argument to give a unique view of freedom and equality. Within the scope of the article, the author focuses on analyzing his views on freedom and equality in many different aspects – freedom and equality in the state of nature, freedom and equality in civil society, and how to achieve freedom and equality – thereby presenting the values and limitations of his views on freedom and equality.

Os filósofos desse período buscavam respostas para “o que é liberdade e igualdade?” e transformaram a liberdade e a igualdade em direitos humanos fundamentais. De John Locke a Montesquieu e Jean Jacques Rousseau, todos consideram a liberdade e a igualdade como direitos naturais do ser humano. O conceito de liberdade e igualdade de Rousseau é refletido em O Contrato Social. No início desse trabalho, ele comentou, com uma famosa frase de abertura: “O homem nasce livre, mas está em toda parte acorrentado.” Esse é o argumento fundamental para dar uma visão única de liberdade e igualdade. Dentro do escopo do artigo, o autor se concentra em analisar seus pontos de vista sobre liberdade e igualdade, em muitos aspectos diferentes – liberdade e igualdade, no estado de natureza, liberdade e igualdade, na sociedade civil, e como alcançar a liberdade e a igualdade – apresentando, assim, os valores e as limitações de seus pontos de vista sobre liberdade e igualdade.Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências2023-03-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/x-mobipocket-ebookapplication/epub+ziphttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/13104TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia da Unesp; v. 46 n. 2 (2023): Abril-Junho/2023; 305-324TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 46 No. 2 (2023): April-June/2023; 305-324TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 46 Núm. 2 (2023): Abril-Junho/2023; 305-324TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 46 No. 2 (2023): Abril-Junho/2023; 305-324TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia; V. 46 N. 2 (2023): Abril-Junho/2023; 305-3241980-539X0101-3173reponame:Trans/Form/Ação (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPenghttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/13104/11916https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/13104/11994https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/13104/11995https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/13104/11996Copyright (c) 2023 TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofiahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDo Thi Thuy, Trang2023-04-28T21:29:49Zoai:ojs.revistas.marilia.unesp.br:article/13104Revistahttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/PUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phptransformacao@marilia.unesp.br1980-539X0101-3173opendoar:2023-04-28T21:29:49Trans/Form/Ação (Online) - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
