«Du contrat social» is the political philosophy essay by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, published by Larousse in paperback (117 pages).
Rousseau investigates the legitimacy of political authority: the social order is not natural but the result of a pact. Individuals join a community and submit to the general will, which seeks the common good; in this way, freedom and equality are preserved.
This edition belongs to the Classiques Larousse collection, published in 1991, with the text in French.
A reference work for philosophy students and for those interested in Enlightenment thought and the foundations of modern democracy.
