Synopsis
Rousseau’s philosophical position with respect to social and political inequality has never been expressed as clearly as in this powerful treatise. Distinguishing between physical and moral inequality, Rousseau argues that the latter explains the phenomenon of consolidated wealth and power in civil society. This is an important read for anyone interested in learning Rousseau’s thoughts on ethics, morality, and human nature.
