«Du contrat social» is the political philosophy essay by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, published by Editions Flammarion in paperback (438 pages, in French).
Rousseau asks what the citizen should expect from the State in exchange for obeying its laws, and from this he deduces the legitimate republic founded on the general will; an early critique of modern democracies and of the predominance of private interest over civic virtue.
This volume brings together, in addition to Du contrat social, Rousseau's two discourses, on the sciences and arts and on the origin of inequality. Du contrat social was originally published in 1762.
For readers of political philosophy, state theory and Enlightenment 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.
