Description: Rousseau's Critique of Inequality by Frederick Neuhouser Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book gives readers at all levels access to a vastly influential text of modern philosophy, Rousseaus Second Discourse. Neuhouser evaluates and reconstructs Rousseaus arguments on why economic inequalities are so common in society and the dangers they pose to human well-being: unhappiness, loss of freedom, immorality, conflict, and alienation. Publisher Description Rousseaus Discourse on the Origin of Inequality among Mankind, published in 1755, is a vastly influential study of the foundations of human society, including the economic inequalities it tends to create. To date, however, there has been little philosophical analysis of the Discourse in the literature. In this book, Frederick Neuhouser offers a rich and incisive philosophical examination of the work. He clarifies Rousseaus arguments as to why social inequalities are so prevalent in human society and why they pose fundamental dangers to human well-being, including unhappiness, loss of freedom, immorality, conflict, and alienation. He also reconstructs Rousseaus four criteria for assessing when inequalities are or are not legitimate, and why. His reconstruction and evaluation of Rousseaus arguments are accessible to both scholars and students, and will be of interest to a broad range of readers including philosophers, political theorists, cultural historians, sociologists, and economists. Author Biography Frederick Neuhouser is Professor of Philosophy at Barnard College, Columbia University. He is the author of Rousseaus Theodicy of Self-Love: Evil, Rationality, and the Drive for Recognition (2008), Actualizing Freedom: The Foundations of Hegels Social Theory (2000), and Fichtes Theory of Subjectivity (Cambridge, 1990).
