Viac o knihe The Social Contract (Jean-Jaques Rousseau)
Wordsworth Editions: This Wordsworth Edition includes an exclusive Introduction by Derek Matravers
In The Social Contract Rousseau (1712-1778) argues for the preservation of individual freedom in political society. An individual can only be free under the law, he says, by voluntarily embracing that law as his own. Hence, being free in society requires each of us to subjugate our desires to the interests of all, the general will.
Some have seen in this the promise of a free and equal relationship between society and the individual, while others have seen it as nothing less than a blueprint for totalitarianism. The Social Contract is not only one of the great defences of civil society, it is also unflinching in its study of the darker side of political systems.

If you find some of the ideas are not to your liking, then I make no excuse for them. They are my own so I cannot disown them. We can do only that which we think to be right. The Social Contract lays out my view of soceity, and how I feel it should beJean Jacques Rousseau,17th April 2004
