This "fresh new rendition of Rousseau's major political writings is a boon for scholars and students alike"-with a critical introduction by the translator (Richard Boyd, Georgetown University).
Individualist and communitarian. Anarchist and totalitarian. Progressive and reactionary. Since the eighteenth century, Jean-Jacques Rousseau has been called all of these things. Few philosophers have been the subject of such intense debate, yet almost everyone agrees that Rousseau is among the most important political thinkers in history. Renowned Rousseau scholar John T. Scott highlights his enduring influence with this superb new edition of his major political writings.
This volume includes authoritative and lucid new translations of the
Discourse on the Sciences and Arts, the
Discourse on the Origin and Foundations of Inequality Among Men, and
On the Social Contract. The two
Discourses show Rousseau developing his well-known conception of the natural goodness of man and the problems posed by life in society. With the
Social Contract, Rousseau became the first major thinker to argue that democracy is the only legitimate form of political organization.
Scott's extensive introduction enhances our understanding of these foundational writings, providing background information, social and historical context, and guidance for interpreting the works. Throughout, translation and editorial notes clarify ideas and terms that might not be immediately familiar to most readers.
