«Del contrato social» is the political philosophy essay by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
For Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a legitimate state is not based on force but on a pact: each person surrenders their natural freedom and joins a community governed by the general will. Sovereignty belongs to the people, and laws guarantee the legal and moral equality of all. The work, published in 1762, is considered a founding text of political law.
This 2012 edition belongs to the collection El libro de bolsillo - Ciencias sociales and includes a translation and prologue by Mauro Armiño. The work was originally written in French.
For students and readers of political philosophy and social sciences, with an interest in Enlightenment thought and the origin of the modern state.
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.
