hi everyone.
- 00:02 - 00:05
Um so this is my presentation on jean jackets, rosa,
- 00:05 - 00:07
who I still don't know how to pronounce his last name,
- 00:08 - 00:08
I
- 00:08 - 00:10
suppose. So you can grab me later.
- 00:10 - 00:14
Um you can correct me in class right now if you want to, but yeah, okay, so
- 00:15 - 00:15
Jean Jackets
- 00:16 - 00:18
who lived from 1712 to 1777.
- 00:19 - 00:21
Um and yeah, that's a picture of him.
- 00:25 - 00:26
So Jane Jackson said,
- 00:26 - 00:32
we said live from 1712 to 1778 is a Swiss born French philosopher,
- 00:32 - 00:35
meaning that he was born in Switzerland and he moved to France.
- 00:37 - 00:37
Um
- 00:38 - 00:39
and yeah,
- 00:41 - 00:41
okay,
- 00:42 - 00:43
so he
- 00:44 - 00:45
I was born in Switzerland and France,
- 00:45 - 00:49
who said he was the least academic of all modern philosophers,
- 00:49 - 00:52
but he was past the most influential of all of them,
- 00:52 - 00:55
which shows that you don't need to be academic in order to be influential.
- 00:55 - 00:57
Um He revolutionized the art,
- 00:58 - 00:59
his mother died in childbirth
- 01:00 - 01:01
while birthing him
- 01:01 - 01:06
um and he was around at the end of the european enlightenment.
- 01:11 - 01:11
Mhm.
- 01:11 - 01:12
Philosophy
- 01:15 - 01:16
Major Red X.
- 01:16 - 01:18
So he wrote a bunch of books um again,
- 01:19 - 01:21
write them all down to them, don't have them all here.
- 01:21 - 01:26
Um because some of them are just novels, some of them are just random things.
- 01:26 - 01:30
Some of them are like some books about music, this is just the main ones.
- 01:30 - 01:32
So, the social contract,
- 01:32 - 01:34
the first one I have over here,
- 01:35 - 01:37
then the
- 01:37 - 01:39
discourse on the origin inequality
- 01:39 - 01:41
Um also known as the 2nd discourse.
- 01:43 - 01:46
This is julie also known as the New alloys,
- 01:47 - 01:48
which is a novel
- 01:49 - 01:51
and emile or on education
- 01:52 - 01:54
and then another breath confessions, which is an autobiography.
- 01:55 - 01:59
These were all um I met a few of these, especially the discourse on
- 02:00 - 02:02
inequality and social contract or philosophical writings,
- 02:02 - 02:07
but all in all of his writings, he included philosophy because he was a philosopher
- 02:10 - 02:11
Quotes. I
- 02:11 - 02:12
picked two
- 02:12 - 02:17
people who know little are usually great talkers while men who know much say little.
- 02:17 - 02:23
So he's just talking about how people who don't know a lot kind of blabber
- 02:23 - 02:25
well, people who are actually smart and know a lot
- 02:26 - 02:29
sometimes just keep to themselves and don't say so much. And so it's important.
- 02:30 - 02:32
The other one is patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet
- 02:33 - 02:36
and I think it's interesting because rosa's spent a lot
- 02:36 - 02:39
of his life trying to change things and you know,
- 02:40 - 02:42
in part his philosophy with other people,
- 02:42 - 02:43
but he
- 02:44 - 02:47
he didn't like, he didn't, he had in the past,
- 02:47 - 02:49
but he didn't change the whole world suddenly
- 02:50 - 02:53
and he had to have patients in order for things to change.
- 02:54 - 02:56
And so then what is his philosophy?
- 02:57 - 03:00
So he said that people are born inherently good
- 03:00 - 03:02
that have been corrupted by society and civilization.
- 03:03 - 03:05
Many people disagreed with this.
- 03:06 - 03:08
Um the Roosevelt
- 03:08 - 03:10
this deeply and he believed that this was
- 03:10 - 03:13
true and it was like the cornerstone of office
- 03:13 - 03:14
um philosophy.
- 03:14 - 03:19
Um he said that society and civilization aren't inherently bad but became bad,
- 03:19 - 03:23
became a bad influence on people as the
- 03:23 - 03:26
society and civilizations became more advanced and sophisticated
- 03:27 - 03:31
and this was a common idea that people talk about lots of stuff about
- 03:32 - 03:34
um he said that society at this time
- 03:35 - 03:38
rested on a false social contract that spread it,
- 03:38 - 03:39
spread it
- 03:39 - 03:40
and causes
- 03:41 - 03:43
inequality and is run by the rich.
- 03:44 - 03:47
So he said that his society had this like
- 03:48 - 03:52
Kind of this system where they caused inequality
- 03:52 - 03:53
and the whole system was one rather rich.
- 03:54 - 03:57
Uh and he said that people were much better off in general before they started
- 03:57 - 03:59
building civilizations and living with other people
- 03:59 - 04:02
and having government and all these laws,
- 04:02 - 04:03
it just made everything get messy.
- 04:09 - 04:11
So social impact and relevance.
- 04:11 - 04:12
Why is it important?
- 04:12 - 04:14
He greatly affected people's lives.
- 04:14 - 04:18
He inspired political reforms. Top parents to teach their kids differently.
- 04:18 - 04:21
He was interested in like relationships,
- 04:21 - 04:24
focusing on expressing emotions rather than just being polite,
- 04:24 - 04:26
which is kind of maybe how you imagine a little
- 04:26 - 04:28
bit like you know like the ladies in the park,
- 04:28 - 04:32
the fancy ladies like sitting there sipping their tea, talking very politely,
- 04:32 - 04:35
but do they have like real emotional relationships?
- 04:35 - 04:38
So he was like, he was like he tried to get people to focus on that.
- 04:39 - 04:40
Um So I just thought was interesting,
- 04:41 - 04:43
he showed people the beauty of nature,
- 04:44 - 04:47
he made people view liberty as something that was an extremely important idea.
- 04:48 - 04:51
Um And he had a strong influence on the french revolution, liberal,
- 04:51 - 04:53
conservative and socialist theory.
- 04:53 - 04:55
So this over here picture is
- 04:56 - 04:58
the french revolution picture
- 04:58 - 04:59
that I got from google.
- 05:00 - 05:03
Um So that is my presentation and it's actually exactly five minutes.
- 05:03 - 05:08
Um, So yeah, and I hope you enjoyed and miss me. Okay, bye.
