«El contrato social o Principios de derecho político» is the political essay by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, published by Tecnos in paperback (208 pages).
Rousseau sets out the principles of his political ideal and explains why modern peoples, who believe themselves free, have representatives, while ancient peoples did not. In his analysis, the moment a people appoints representatives it is no longer free.
This fifth edition includes a preliminary study and translation by María José Villaverde and is part of the Classics of Thought collection.
For readers interested in political philosophy, democratic theory and Enlightenment thought; also useful as university reading.
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.
