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 citizens 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.Translated and Introduced by Maurice CranstonCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBTranslator: Maurice CranstonContributor: Maurice Cranston (Translated by), Maurice Cranston (Introduction by)Genre: Law & PoliticsTopic: Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2003 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
