Jean Jacques Rousseau was a Genevan philosopher, writer, and composer of the 18th century. Jean Jacques Rousseau's political philosophy influenced the Enlightenment in France and across Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the overall development of modern political and educational thought. This anthology volume contains three of Jean Jacques Roussseau's most important works: The Social Contract; A Discourse on The Origin of Inequality; And A Discourse on Political Economy. The Social Contract is one of Jean Jacques Rousseau's works which has influenced politics & government throughout the world. The Social Contract espouses Jean Jacques Rousseau's theory on free will & determinism by delving into what he viewed as the best way to establish a political community in the face of the problems of commercial society. Originally published in 1762, the work helped to inspire political reforms and revolutions in Europe, especially in France. Jean Jacques Rousseau's The Social Contract argued against the idea that monarchs were divinely empowered to legislate and control politics & government; as Rousseau asserts, only the people, who are sovereign, have that all-powerful right. The Social Contract is often required reading for courses in philosophy, politics & government, and politics & social sciences. On The Origin of Inequality is one of Jean Jacques Rousseau's works which has influenced politics & government throughout the world. On The Origin of Inequality espouses Jean Jacques Rousseau's view that private property is the original source and basis of all inequality. While indirectly delving into the subject of free will & determinism, Rousseau also discusses two types of inequality; natural, or physical inequality, and ethical, or moral inequality. On The Origin of Inequality is often required reading for courses in philosophy, politics & government, and politics & social sciences. On Political Economy espouses Jean Jacques Rousseau's concepts of The General Will as a way for individuals' self interest to unite for a common good. Jean Jacques Rousseau explains that the origing of the word Economy, or OEconomy, is derived from oikos, a house, and nomos, law, and meant originally only the wise and legitimate government of the house for the common good of the whole family. The meaning of the term was then extended to the government of that great family, the State. To distinguish these two senses of the word, the latter is called general or political economy, and the former domestic or particular economy. Rousseau goes on to explain that two senses of the word economy differ too much in extent to be regulated in the same manner. On Political Economy is often required reading for courses in economics, philosophy, political economy, politics & government, and politics & social sciences.
