The work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau is presented in two volumes, together forming the most comprehensive anthology of Rousseau's political writings in English. Volume II contains the later writings such as The Social Contract and a selection of Rousseau's letters on important aspects of his thought. The Social Contract has become Rousseau's most famous single work, but on publication was condemned by both the civil and the ecclesiastical authorities in France and Geneva. Rousseau fled and it is during this period that he wrote some of his autobiographical works as well as political essays such as On the Government of Poland. This 1997 volume, like its predecessor, contains a comprehensive introduction, chronology and guide to further reading, and will enable students to obtain a full understanding of the writings of one of the world's greatest thinkers.

Often, when it [general well] is too flagrantly crossed, it allows itself to be perceived in spite of the dreadful curb [on it] by the public authority ... In China, the prince's constant maxim is to find his officers in the wrong in all disputes that arise between them and the people. Is bread expensive in some province? the commissioner is put in jail: does a riot break out in another? the governor is demoted and every mandarin is answerable with his life for all the evil that occurs in his department... It rarely makes for an injustice that requires redress; and the emperor, persuaded that public clamor never arises without cause, always discovers among the seditious cries which he punishes some just grievances which he corrects (查看原文)

2017—2018年，西方思想史读书会花了一年时间逐字逐句读完了Social Contract，这是十年后第二次阅读了，一个人读和跟大家一起读，感觉完全两样。一个人读，有些不太清晰的地方就匆匆放过了，但是大家一起读，每个地方都要细抠，所以就逼着大家一起思考。读书会无疑是文本精读的最佳方式 @2018-07-20 17:06:54
