Few philosophers have been the subject of as much or as intense
debate, yet almost everyone agrees on one thing: Jean-Jacques
Rousseau is among the most important and influential thinkers in
the history of political philosophy. This new edition of his major
political writings renews attention to the perennial importance of
his work. The book brings together superb new translations of three
of Rousseau's works: the Discourse on the Sciences and the Arts,
the Discourse on the Origin and Foundations of Inequality Among
Men, and On the Social Contract. The two Discourses show Rousseau
developing his well-known conception of the natural goodness of man
and the problems posed by life in society. With the Social
Contract, Rousseau became the first major thinker to argue that
democracy is the only legitimate form of political organization.
Translation and editorial notes clarify ideas and terms that might
not be immediately familiar to most readers.
