1.Most humanists believed in free will while Protestants believed in
predestinaion;humanists tended to think of human nature as basically good while
Protestants found it unspeakably corrupt;most humanists favored urbanity and
tolerence while the followers of Luther and Calvin emphasized faith and
conformity.
2.Rousseau argued that humans were 'born free.'In the state of nature,all had
been equal until the institution of private property led owner to protect their
property by creating instruments of repression:law,police,salvery.To remedy
this situaion,Rousseau proposed the altogether new solution of goverment by the
'general will.'
3.Utilitarianism was a doctrine that could be used to cut 2 ways-in favor of
laissez-faire; in favor of govermental intervention.And the middle class
proceeded to cut both ways at once.Utilitarianism provided the theoretical
basis for many of the middle-class interventionist reforms,such as a revised
poor law in Britain.At the same time utilitarianism fortified the position of
those businessmen who believed that unfettered individualism had produced
the triumphs of the Industrial Revolution.
