jan 1, 1762 - The social contract

Description:

Written in 1762 by Rousseau, it was an extensive discussion of politics that outlines the kind of political structure Rousseau believed would overcome the evils of contemporary politics and society. Society is more important than its individual members, because they are what they are only by virtue of their relationship to the larger community.
