«El contrato social» is the political philosophy essay by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, published by Edicomunicación in hardback (576 pages, in Spanish).
The treatise explores the foundations of political authority and argues that a legitimate society can only arise from a pact freely accepted by its members. Rousseau places sovereignty in the people and conceives of law as an expression of the general will, oriented toward the common good and equality among citizens.
The work was originally published in 1762; the original title is Du contrat social, ou Principes du droit politique. This 1994 edition belongs to the Grandes Autores Literatura Universal collection.
For students and readers of political philosophy, state theory, and 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.
