The Social Contract, written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, is a fundamental work of political philosophy that explores the principles of political law and the legitimacy of state power. In this essay, Rousseau argues that legitimate political power derives from a social contract in which individuals consent to cede part of their freedom to a common authority to guarantee peace and security. The work examines the nature of the social contract, popular sovereignty, and the importance of the general will in political decision-making. This edition of Tecnos offers a translation and preliminary study by María José Villaverde, facilitating the understanding of this classic work of political 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.
