Product Review
the book is smart, well-written and fair. It is both the best available companion for the first-time reader of the Social Contract and a valuable contribution to the scholarship on Rousseau. Matthew Simpson, Journal of the History of Philosophy
'Bertram gives us an insightful account of Rousseaus character, an exemplary and charitable commentary on the Social Contract, and a brief but lucid account of his influence on later thinkers a book which we should read and for which we should give thanks.' - Tony Lynch, Australian Journal of Political Science
Product Description
Rousseau's Social Contract is a benchmark in political philosophy. It has inspired and influenced moral and political thought since publication and is widely studied for this reason. This GuideBook takes a thematic look at the text, discussing and examining ideas in the context of the time and their implications for future philosophical and political thought. It will be vital reading for anyone coming to the book for the first time.
