This book is intended as an equivalent to or substitute for that
"more reflective reading" which Rousseau considered essential to an
understanding of his ideas. It is designed to complement perusal of
the texts themselves, and the arrangement is such that chapters on
each of Rousseau's major writings can be consulted separately or
the commentary may be read through in sequence. The author's
purpose is not to present a "key" to Rousseau's political
philosophy, but rather to explore the works themselves in an effort
to reveal Rousseau's "system," from which the reader may then draw
his own conclusions. Originally published in 1976. The Princeton
Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
