Jean Jacques Rousseau
The Social Contract, or Of the Social Contract, or Principles of Political Right by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, is a book in which Rousseau theorized about the best way to establish a political community in the face of the problems of commercial society, which he had already identified in his Discourse on Inequality (1754). The Social Contract argued against the idea that monarchs were divinely empowered to legislate. A state has no right to enslave a conquered people.. The Social Contract & Discourses Principles of Political Right by Jean Jacques Rousseau The Social Contract helped inspire political reforms or revolutions in Europe, especially in France. Rousseau asserts that only the people, who are sovereign, have that all-powerful right. The stated aim of The Social Contract is to determine whether there can be a legitimate political authority, since people's interactions he saw at his time seemed to put them in a state far worse than the good one they were at in the state of nature, even though living in isolation. He concludes book one, chapter three with, "Let us then admit that force does not create right, and that we are obliged to obey only legitimate powers", which is to say, the ability to coerce is not a legitimate power, and there is no rightful duty to submit to it
Five Stars Lawrence R. Schultz Great.. Good points M. G. Mohring This book has very good points, it is a little long winded at times. It is a classic text of the enlightenment. Overall I would consider it a worth while read.. "Enlightening" according to mjmcc61. What a marvel to see the magnificent truth of the master's work 250 years after he postulated it. What a treat to read Cole's translation side-by-side with the original French to see how closely he followed the intent and phraseology. What a surprise to discern the deeply-held Christian views of this acclaimed free-thinker who is so often misused by the secular, progressive socialists of our day. Merci, M. Rousseau!
