The individualist attitude as advanced by Thomas Hobbes, perhaps the most analytic of all contractarian theorists, sees the individual as temporally and logically prior to the sovereign or state. Hence, at least theoretically, Hobbes recognizes a time when no such collectivity existed; a time which he refers to as the of nature.1 In contrast to John Locke's relatively peaceful and calm state of nature,2 Hobbes pictures this era as a state of war in which individuals, essentially antisocial, are motivated purely by self interest. Because of this human condition, it becomes necessary for individuals to collectively enter into a type of agreement commonly referred to as a social contract. Accordingly, the collectivity is merely a conglomerate or partnership binding those who choose to become a part of it.3 Other philosophic schools of thought, particularly theorists of the general will, are often quite critical of individualism. In his classic formulation of the general will, Jean Jacques Rousseau sees the relation of the individual to the collectivity as a matter of will, not merely as one of agreement. The collectivity possesses its own identity, distinct from that of its individual members.4 Hence, Rousseau argues that, each individual can have as a man a private will that is contrary or different from the general will he has as a citizen.5 For Rousseau, the general will is endowed with a transcendent quality which supercedes individual aims and needs, and, as a result, an individual can be forced to obey the" @default.
