Answer:

Explanation:

The statement about Rousseau's view of mankind as described in the question is **False**.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a philosopher influential during the Enlightenment period in Europe, is often associated with the idea that humans are inherently good but are corrupted by society. This view contrasts sharply with the statement that he had a low view of mankind and taught that humans are born bad. Rousseau argued in his work, especially in "The Social Contract" and "Emile," that society and its institutions are what corrupt the natural goodness of humans. His beliefs have influenced modern educational and political thought, advocating for reforms that align with the natural state of humans and emphasize freedom and equality.
