Solution

The correct option is A Jean-Jacques Rousseau
  • Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a French philosopher and writer. His Political Philosophy, particularly his formulation of social contract theory strongly influenced the French Revolution and the development of Liberal, Conservative and Socialist theory.
  • A brilliant, undisciplined and unconventional thinker throughout his colorful life, his views on Philosophy of Education and on religion were equally controversial but nevertheless influential.
