According to the historian of ideas, Arthur O. Lovejoy :" The notion that Rousseau ’ s Discourse on Inequality was essentially a glorification of the State of Nature, and that its influence tended to wholly or chiefly to promote " Primitivism " is one of the most persistent historical errors.

According to Lovejoy, Rousseau's basic view of human nature after the emergence of social living is basically identical to that of Hobbes.

" Lovejoy concludes that Rousseau's doctrine, as expressed in his Discourse on Inequality: declares that there is a dual process going on through history ; on the one hand, an indefinte progress in all those powers and achievements which express merely the potency of man's intellect ; on the other hand, an increasing estrangement of men from one another, an intensification of ill-will and mutual fear, cuminating in a monstrous epoch of universal conflict and mutual destruction fourth stage in which we now find ourselves.

However, the discipline of intellectual history as it is now understood emerged only in the immediate postwar period, in its earlier incarnation as “ the history of ideas ” under the leadership of Arthur Lovejoy, the founder of the Journal of the History of Ideas.

Since that time, Lovejoy ’ s formulation of “ unit-ideas ” has been discredited and replaced by more nuanced and more historically sensitive accounts of intellectual activity, and this shift is reflected in the replacement of the phrase history of ideas by intellectual history.
