About This Item
Everyman Paperbacks, 2003. 14th Printing . Trade Paperback. Fine. 5" x 7 3/4. 362 Pages Indexed. Originally published by Everyman in 1913 followed by many reprints and revisions. This is a 2003 reprint of the 1993 Edition. Tight book in original condition with no marks or stamps. Inspired by ancient Greek city states, Rousseau searched for a way which states of his day could be equally representative. Holding men in wretched subservience, feudalism, alongside religion, was a powerful force in the eighteenth century. Self-serving monarchic social systems, which collectively reduced common people to servitude, were now attacked by Enlightenment philosophers, of whom Rouseau was a leading light. His masterpiece, The Social Contract, profoundly influenced the subsequent development of society and remains provocative in a modern age of continuing widespread vested interest. This is the most comprehensive paperback edition available, with introduction, notes, index and chronology of Rousseau's life and times.
