Contains the Social Contract, as well as the first English translation of Rousseau's early Discourse on the Virtue Most Necessary for a Hero, numerous previously untranslated political fragments, and the first draft of the Social Contract (the so-called Geneva Manuscript). By placing Rousseau's famous exposition of "political right" and the "general will" in the context of his preparatory drafts, the editors provide significant insight into the formation of one of the most important and influential works in Western political thought.

The work 'has been the inspirational source of every great educational reformer since the eighteenth century, ' says Proffesor Boutet de Monvel but its influence has extended far beyond the confines of education, and its effect upon the ideas of several generations has covered a much wider sphere. Emile became indeed one of the major textbooks of the French Evolution...

Discourse on the Origin of Inequality is a work written by author Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Originally written in the mid-18th century, it is an attempt to answer the question, "What is the origin of inequality among men, and is it authorized by natural law?" as a part of a competition by the Acadmie de Dijon. The Discourse on the Origin of Inequality is a key work on the differences among men and was opposite of Thomas Hobbes' view that pre-civilized man was in a state of all against all warfare, but rather Rousseau believed that man in a natural state is more accurately described as a noble...

""The Government of Poland" is the only finished work in which Rousseau himself dons the mantle of legislator, applying the principles of the "Social Contract" to the real world around him. "Poland" teaches us much about the mysterious art of the "Social Contract's" 'legislator, ' how he transforms each individual into part of a larger whole. Only in . . . "Poland" do we find what this crucial transformation entails and what it presupposes. But probably the greatest lesson to be learned from . . . Poland concerns Rousseau's understanding of the proper relationship between theory and practice....
