Synopsis
“Du contract social” was written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau in 1762. In it Rousseau sets about establishing the prerequisites for the modern democratic state. Its impact is so deep and the insight so revolutionary that the term “social contract” is now an established part of political philosophy.Here Rousseau's French text is reproduced side by side with G. D. H. Cole's classic English translation.L’homme est né libre, et partout il est dans les fers.Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains.

From the Author
The Social Contract by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The social contract came to me when I was fairly young, living in Geneva. It is unlike a convential book, which may take a few years to write, in that that it was in the making throughout my entire life.
If you find some of the ideas are not to your liking, then I make no excuse for them. They are my own so I cannot disown them. We can do only that which we think to be right.
The Social Contract lays out my view of soceity, and how I feel it should be
Jean Jacques Rousseau,
17th April 2004
