«The Natural Goodness of Man» is the political philosophy essay by Arthur M. Melzer (University of Chicago Press, paperback, 328 pages, in English).
Arthur M. Melzer starts from Rousseau's claim that the «natural goodness of man» is the key to the human condition and to his writings, and reconstructs his philosophy as a coherent system. He examines the evidence for this principle and explains how it leads to The Social Contract, resolving the thinker from Geneva's most famous paradoxes.
Originally published in 1990; the present paperback edition is from 2016. The work's subtitle is On the System of Rousseau's Thought.
Intended for students and academics of philosophy, as well as general readers interested in Rousseau and political theory.
