«El contrato social» is the political philosophy essay by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, published by Istmo in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
A classic of the Enlightenment that, against absolute monarchies and the representative system, champions the direct democracy of ancient republics and the general will as the basis of the community. Rousseau rejects the division of powers and the individual rights of the modern model; this edition adds an introductory study that situates the work and the author in their era.
Volume 218 of Istmo's Fundamentos collection, published in 2004. Translation by María José Villaverde.
Aimed at readers of political philosophy and those interested in the history of 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.
