  • "Provides essays by each of these 18th century philosophers concerning contracts of government."@en
  • "This Web site is part of a large online collection of texts in which this particular resource is The social contract, by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The work is designed to determine how freedom may be possible in civil society, and discusses that we might do to understand what is meant by "freedom." Visitors can read the text in direct order or skip to a particular book section of their choice."@en
  • "Presents the eighteenth century French philosopher's views on society and the relationship between the individual and the state."
  • "'Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains.' These are the famous opening words of a treatise that has not ceased to stir vigorous debate since its first publication in 1762. Rejecting the view that anyone has a natural right to wield authority over others, Rousseau argues instead for a pact, or 'social contract', that should exist between all the citizen's of a state and that should be the source of sovereign power. From this fundamental premise, he goes on to consider issues of liberty and law, freedom and justice, arriving at a view of society that has seemed to some a blueprint for totalitarianism, to others a declaration of democratic principles. In his introduction, Maurice Cranston examines the historical and political ideas that influenced Rousseau, and places this book against a backdrop of his remarkable personality and life. -- Publishers description."
  • "In this translated classic, Rousseau argues for the preservation of individual freedom in political society. He says that we can only be free under the law by voluntarily embracing that law as our own. Hence, being free in society requires each of us to subjugate all our desires to the collective good, the general will."@en
