Presidential Candidates and Philosophical Tradition

Abstract: This excellent 5 page paper discusses the fact that philosophy is an academic arena which most view as having little to do with the real world. In viewing the presidential hopefuls, however, and studying their party platforms, we can see how some of their policies and views reflect statements and ideals set by such philosophers as Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Describes how the beliefs and visions by each of the presidential candidates presented are inherently linked in some way to some or all of these philosophers.
