Discover the timeless wisdom of social philosophy with this brand-new edition of 'The Social Contract' by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This trade paperback (UK format) edition, published by Penguin UK in 1998, spans 192 thought-provoking pages that challenge conventional notions of authority and governance. Rousseau's seminal text begins with the striking declaration, 'Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains,' setting the stage for a profound exploration of the relationship between individuals and the state. In this influential treatise, Rousseau argues against the natural right to govern, proposing instead a social contract that emphasizes civic duty and collective governance. His insights into liberty, justice, and the role of citizens ignite spirited debate and provide a foundation for both democratic principles and critical critiques of political systems. Ideal for students, philosophers, and political theory enthusiasts, this edition comes with FREE shipping, making it easy to add this essential piece of literature to your collection.

Description:
'Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains'
These are the famous opening words of a treatise that has not ceased to stir vigorous debate since its first publication in 1762. Rejecting the view that anyone has a natural right to wield authority over others, Rousseau argues instead for a pact, or 'social contract', that should exist between all the citizens of a state and that should be the source of sovereign power. From this fundamental premise, he goes on to consider issues of liberty and law, freedom and justice, arriving at a view of society that has seemed to some a blueprint for totalitarianism, to others a declaration of democratic principles.
