具体描述
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.

读后感
自人类进入文明时代以来，政治就凌驾于社会之上，直接主宰着人类的命运。许多明智之士对政治敬而远之，隐身山林。但亦有崇尚理性力量的人们，始终孜孜以求那至善的目标：适合人类生存、发展的政治形式。在数学家刚刚发现勾股定理的时候，哲人就已系统研究什么是人类的“...
评分我曾经觉得卢梭是一个口是心非的人物。之所以给我这样的感觉，源于他早年的一篇文章《论科学与艺术》。当时第戎学院有奖征答一个问题，即艺术和科学的复兴有没有改善人们的举止和道德。卢梭的好友狄德罗建议他回答“不”，因为这样的回答更容易得奖。最后，无论出于怎样的动机...
评分 评分一、背景 卢梭（1712-1778）生于新教城邦日内瓦，但其一生业绩和身后影响主要发生在法国，死后葬于先贤祠。 卢梭生活在新旧交错的年代，专制制度已是众矢之的，现代社会也初现轮廓，这多少也是卢梭思想亦古亦今的一个外因。在卢梭生活的年代，启蒙运动的中心从英国转到法国。卢...
