Hobbes and Locke, the seventeenth century philosophers, are known for their political philosophies on human nature and the development of social societies and governments by this. These features can be seen in Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe clearly and they can be scrutinized in this respect, for Defoe's views on human nature are similar to these two philosophers' thoughts. We can recognize both the individualism and egocentricity in Robinson Crusoe's character, and his fears and doubts that depict human nature perfectly. Moreover, Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, which was written as a satire on human nature in the same period with Robinson Crusoe, also points out and criticizes different emotions in human psychology.
