«El contrato social» is the political philosophy essay by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, published by Edaf in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).

This text has been considered an embodiment of democratic theory and a key piece of Western political thought since the French Revolution.

Recommended for students and readers interested in political philosophy and the foundations of democratic theory.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a Genevan philosopher, philosophe, writer, and composer. His political philosophy influenced the progress of the Age of Enlightenment throughout Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the development of modern political, economic, and educational thought.
