«El contrato social» is the political philosophy essay by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, published by Edimat Libros in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
The work argues that civil society is born from a pact among free people. It defends popular sovereignty: the people can change their laws and rulers whenever they see fit. Rousseau thus criticizes the absolute monarchies of his time and calls for a more legitimate political organization.
The original work dates from 1762; this Spanish edition, published in 2004, belongs to the Clásicos de la literatura universal collection (no. 64) and includes a prologue by Enrique López Castellón.
Aimed at students of philosophy, politics, and social sciences, as well as readers of classics 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.
