«El contrato social» is the treatise on political philosophy by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, published by Aguilar in 1981 in paperback, in Spanish.
Rousseau argues that the legitimacy of political power does not arise from force, but from a pact by which individuals unite and submit their interests to the general will. Sovereignty resides in the people, and government must act for the common good.
Work originally published in 1762. 1981 edition in the 'Biblioteca Aguilar de iniciación política' collection; translation by Consuelo Berges and introduction by Antonio Rodríguez Huéscar.
For students of philosophy and political science and for readers interested in the classics of modern 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.
