Although it originated in theological debates, the general will
ultimately became one of the most celebrated and denigrated
concepts emerging from early modern political thought. Jean-Jacques
Rousseau made it the central element of his political theory, and
it took on a life of its own during the French Revolution, before
being subjected to generations of embrace or opprobrium. James Farr
and David Lay Williams have collected for the first time a set of
essays that track the evolving history of the general will from its
origins to recent times. The General Will: The Evolution of a
Concept discusses the general will's theological, political,
formal, and substantive dimensions with a careful eye toward the
concept's virtues and limitations as understood by its expositors
and critics, among them Arnauld, Pascal, Malebranche, Leibniz,
Locke, Spinoza, Montesquieu, Kant, Constant, Tocqueville, Adam
Smith and John Rawls.
