Rousseau postulated that humans were essentially good, but ruined by civilization and society, and he urged a return to a "natural state." Hobbes maintained that humans are by nature a brutish and selfish lot; society and government are necessary to control and curb our basic nature. Locke, on the other hand, rejected the Cartesian idea of innate ideas and presumed that humans are at birth "blank slates," neither good nor bad, with the experience of their culture shaping the type of person they would become (Garbarino 1983:12-13).
