What! Social contract philosopher's "kindof dull"? For sure, this must be an engineering forum!

Eh? Which social contract people? Locke? Adam smith?

I imagine the "great triumvirate" -- Locke, Hobbes and Rousseau. Although I suppose it would be hard to compare Hobbes' "war of all against all" to GP (unless the comparison is soley focussed on the differences). Would you be including more recent philosophers like John Rawls (A Theory of Justice)? I admit, I'm a bit fond of him ... partially because he has my same last name (though no relation). His "veil of ignorance" would offer a nice comparison so far as I understand it, no?
