Rousseau "A new contract" The contract Locke



Rousseau was one of the most important philosophers of the French Enlightenment. Born in Geneva, Switzerland, June 28, 1712 and died in Ermenonville, France, July 2, 1778. Perhaps this was the most radical in their positions. His most famous work is the Social Contract. It raises that man is neither good nor bad just is pure in its natural state. This primitive man, he realizes that in order to survive needs of others. Behold the reason the contract.





however, suggests that this first contract, is wrong and must create a new one (a social). Rousseau sees the main cause of social inequality is private property, so this should be minimized, then eliminate social differences.


He suggests that if you as an individual is clear of all material and spiritual, and gives it all (ie the State) will receive more than what they had before, because the state officer shall divide equally all that has been given. Sound familiar? Many consider Rousseau as a proto-communist such as radical ideas.

The failure of this contract is that the men were given their freedom to a few to govern society as they wished. Rousseau argues that man must recover all its freedoms has potentially How recover for these freedoms? Rousseau provides a simple answer but we'll see utopian and contradictory "radical democracy"

Rousseau sees the "Parliamentary Monarchy" proposed by Montesquieu and his colleagues illustrated Voltaire is not a suitable system. The proposal is based on that should govern all, not representatives, but directly through the ballot.

Rousseau is based on pure democracy of ancient Greece, where all voting in the assembly and decided by voting. What Rousseau obviously did not see and that makes their wishful thinking, is that in a state where considered "men" did not exceed a few, as currently the numbers have tripled and therefore the representation was necessary.

to him through the ballot we absolutes, rejecting minorities. Those minorities that in an election voted against it are obliged to realize at the time of his mistake (as it was an absolute truth, the opposite is just lying). This is only the basis of the dictatorship of the majority. With a demagogue, it is very easy to fall into this dictatorship. Obviously

Rousseau dreamed of a world with fewer and more egalitarian social differences. But as we know, all those who have raised these types of philosophies end in failure so utopian about it. We are different, always have been, and that no philosophy, no matter how humane it is going to change. You can amend the laws to a more just, less corrupt, they all be tried before the law without prejudice to skin color, economic status, religion, beliefs, things pertaining to the dignity of man, but dictatorship is not justified to impose something that is proven, it can not happen.
