The outstanding figures nowadays are mainly people who have received a high quality of education that led them to their leadership. Hannah Arendt and Jean Jacques Rousseau are two philosophers who have brought up their perspectives on the relationship between education and authority. Furthermore, due to the qualities and standards of people’s living conditions, it is significant to study from our past and innovate for our future. Regarding Hobbes, we need education to bring justice, law, and order to society. Therefore, education provides people the authority within their community to lead, govern, and innovate.
