1782 JJ Rousseau Social Contract FOLIO Political Philosophy + on Inequality

“There is peace in dungeons, but is that enough to make dungeons desirable?”

― Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract

A rare 1782 volume from the works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This volume, published in Geneva, includes the following works:

“Discourse on Inequality”

“Letter of Mr Philopolis”

‘The Social Contract’

‘Discourse on Political Economy’

‘Considerations on the Government of Poland’

“The Social Contract” by Jean-Jacques Rousseau is one of the most important works on political science: social norms and the legitimate authority of politics and law. Rousseau concludes a portion of this work with the quote “force does not create right, reminding the reader that being able to coerce someone does not legitimize power.

This work helped inspire and create political reforms in Europe, particularly France. Rousseau argued for democracy in lieu of a more oppressive aristocracy or monarchy.
