By analysing Rousseau's conception of the general will, Zev
Trachtenberg characterises the attitude of civic virtue Rousseau
believes individuals must have to cooperate successfully in
society. Rousseau holds that culture affects political life by
either fostering or discouraging civic virtue. However, while the
cultural institutions Rousseau endorses would motivate citizens to
obey the law, they would not prepare citizens to help frame it.
Rousseau's view of culture thus works against his account of
legitimacy, and Trachtenberg concludes that Rousseau's political
theory as a whole is inconsistent.
