About The Social Contract
The Social Contract is one of the most influential studies of political philosophy ever made, presenting a radical vision of how society should be organized to ensure the liberty and equality of its citizens.
- Arguing against the 'divine right' of the monarchy, Rousseau instead claims that the state should be governed by the collective will of the people and their shared interests.
- It is only through this 'social contract' that man can truly be free.
Rousseau's ideas influenced both the French and American Revolutions, laying the foundations for the liberal democratic societies that exist today.
