In his Discourses (1755), Rousseau argues that inequalities of rank, wealth, and power are the inevitable result of the civilizing process. If inequality is intolerable - and Rousseau shows with unparalledled eloquence how it robs us not only of our material but also of our psychological independence - then how can we recover the peaceful self-sufficiency of life in the state of nature? We cannot return to a simpler time, but measuring the costs of progress may help us to imagine alternatives to the corruption and oppressive conformity of modern society. Rousseau's sweeping account of humanity's social and political development epitomizes the innovative boldness of the Englightment, and it is one of the most provocative and influential works of the eighteenth century. This new translation includes all Rousseau's own notes, and Patrick Coleman's introduction builds on recent key scholarship, considering particularly the relationship between political and aesthetic thought.

评分 评分一本薄薄的小册子,80页,没想到卢梭的一篇论文能够成为一本书,而且成为了法国大革命的灵魂。 在这本书中,卢梭论述了人类不平等的起源,他从原始人进入主题,给出一大堆论据和推理来证明某些学者认为的原始人要更野蛮的论断是错误的。相反原始社会的人类与世无争,与人无争...
