About this ebook

Can people make binding laws together and remain free? This original English introduction follows Jean-Jacques Rousseau from inequality and the desire for recognition to the social contract, general will, education, and collective self-rule. It also confronts his exclusion of women and the risk that a leader might invoke the people's will to silence dissent. Eighteen chapters, a glossary, annotated source and an invented public-square decision make the ideas concrete. A critical guide, not a work by Rousseau.
