Jean-Jacques Rousseau defended human freedom in individual and social dimensions. The basis for human freedom was natural freedom, appropriate to the primitive man, who lived in a state of nature. For Rousseau the original freedom was obedience to the laws of nature. In the social sphere it corresponded to the freedom as obedience to the general will, which was manifested in law. In the life of particular person freedom meant renouncing artificial needs.
