The Essential Writings Of Rousseau by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
This collection presents central essays and excerpts that trace the thinker’s argument that humans are naturally good but corrupted by society, examines the origins and effects of inequality, and proposes that legitimate political authority rests on a social contract shaped by the general will; it also offers reflections on education as a means to cultivate moral autonomy and civic virtue, along with intimate autobiographical passages that illuminate personal conscience, together forming a provocative program for moral, political, and social renewal centered on freedom, equality, and participatory self-government.
