Contractualism is the opposite of "man is by nature a political animal." This view
held that living in politics...(city) in society, has allowed the development of the language
forCommunicating complex concepts and social skills is a natural tendency to seek
connection with others due to our very human nature. If you don't live in a polis, you are
considered...beast(miserable) Part(already happy) since a single human can achieve
happiness in cities among other people.
Contractualists believe that history is divided into three moments:
1. State of nature:natural fictional moment (plausible)pre-politician-social The
humans were free andThey were identical to each other, but isolated..
2. Contract:The state of nature is no longer sustainable and a pact voluntary which
implies the end of freedom and equality. Its purpose is the creation of the State, an
entity above individuals.
3. State:artifice of individuals(artificial). The State is hierarchical and generates
stratification.
