«Contrato social» is the political philosophy essay by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, published by Austral in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
Rousseau reflects on the foundations of civil power and how to achieve legitimate and secure administration, seeking a balance between justice and utility. His idea of society as a pact and his conception of democracy became a reference in political thought and constitutionalism.
Translation by Fernando de los Ríos and foreword by Manuel Tuñón de Lara. Work originally published in 1762 under the title Du contrat social, ou Principes du droit politique.
For students of philosophy and political science, as well as readers interested in the classics of democratic thought.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a Genevan philosopher, philosophe, writer, and composer. His political philosophy influenced the progress of the Age of Enlightenment throughout Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the development of modern political, economic, and educational thought.
