Description
Rousseau's influential work on political theory remains a cornerstone of democratic thought. Written in 1762, "The Social Contract" presents a radical idea: that individuals submit to government by contract, with the ultimate goal of serving the common good.
This concept of the "general will" has sparked intense debate and continues to shape modern democracy. Rousseau's ideas on the relationship between individual interests and collective well-being remain contentious today.
