The analysis underscores persistent challenges in social contract theory, including the tension between normative justifications and empirical stability, the integration of deep societal diversity, and the need for adaptive frameworks that account for continuous societal transformation. Hobbes, locke and rousseau are the representatives of modern western social contract theory Although there are great differences in their theories of social contract, their contributions to this theory are of great significance from the perspective of value philosophy.
