«Il contratto sociale» is the political philosophy essay by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, published by Rizzoli in paperback (217 pages, in Italian).
In this work, Rousseau argues that the human being is born free but lives subject to laws, and examines how a collective pact can make authority legitimate. He maintains that freedom is only possible if laws express the general will, and that every citizen must obey them because they are created for all and with their participation to build a just society.
Published in 2000 in the Superbur classici collection (no. 113) by Rizzoli; edition edited by G. Barni.
For those studying political philosophy, Enlightenment thought and state theory, as well as readers interested in the foundations of democratic society.
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.
