It's a very outdated but common notion, popularized around about in the 17th and 18th centuries by the likes of Rousseau. It often gets tied up with enlightenment ideas and is popularly espoused by many (naive) people even today. It is associated with the controversial phrase "noble savage", which is sometimes said sincerely and sometimes sneeringly. |
