With the publication of "The Social Contract" in 1761, Jean-Jacques Rousseau took his place among the leading political philosophers of the Enlightenment. Like his contractarian predecessors (Thomas Hobbes and John Locke), Rousseau sought to ground his political theory in an understanding of human nature, which he believed to be basically good but corrupted by the conflicting interests within society. Here self-interest degenerated into a state of war from which humanity could only be extricated by the imposition of a contract.As a party to the compact, each individual would find his true interest served within the political expression of the community of man, or the "general will." What is the content of human nature and how does it compel mankind to come together to create a civil society? What form does this society take? What benefits does it offer its citizens, and what must each individual sacrifice to reap its rewards? How does sovereign power manifest itself, and what consequences follow for those who choose not to abide by the "general will"? Does Rousseau's political theory set forth a blueprint for democracy - one that results in equality, universal suffrage, and popular sovereignty - or is it a recipe for central state totalitarianism?These are just a few of the complex questions that will confront readers of "The Social Contract". Whatever their intent or ultimate result, Jean-Jacques Rousseau's views on the state and man's relationship to it have culminated in one of the most powerful and compelling pieces of political philosophy ever written.
卢梭,18世纪法国启蒙思想家、哲学家、教育家、文学家、音乐家,法国大革命的思想先驱,启蒙运动最卓越的代表人物之一,被誉为“现代民主政体之父”。卢梭坚持社会契约论,主张建立资产阶级的“理性王国”;强调自由平等,反对压迫;提出“天赋人权”,反对专制、暴政。其代表作有:《论人类不平等的起源和基础》、 《社会契约论》、《爱弥儿》、《忏悔录》等。

评分 评分1 孟德斯鸠主张立宪君主制,伏尔泰主张开明的君主制,而卢梭主张民 主共和制。伏尔泰虽然是一位自由主义思想家,但他不主张赶走国王。 2 我发现,所有一切问题的根子,都处在政治上。不论从什么角度看,没有哪一个国家的人民不是他们的政府的性质使他们成为什么样的人,他们就...

评分从客观上来讲,卢梭的这部著作使西方社会从以个体“小我”为基本单元的社会结构过度到以社会科学为依据的团体契约形成的“大我”结构,完成了西方社会向团体和谐发展的方向挺进的理论基础先导的任务。它引领西方社会高速发展,在区区200多年间,完成了一个又一个跨越——以本书...
