About the book
A lively new translation of Rousseau's best-known work, accompanied by additional political writings Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains are the famous opening words of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Social Contract, a work of political philosophy that
has stirred vigorous debate ever since its publication in 1762. Rejecting the view that anyone has a natural right to sovereignty, Rousseau argues instead for a pact-a social contract-that should exist among all the citizens of a state and that should be the source of governing power. From this premise, he goes on to consider issues of liberty and justice, arriving at a view of society that has seemed to some a blueprint for totalitarianism, to others a declaration of democratic principles.
