Description: Man was born free and he is everywhere in chains These are the famous opening words of a treatise that has not ceased to stir debate since its publication in 1762. Rejecting the view that anyone has a natural right to wield authority over others Rousseau argues instead for a pact or 'social contract' that should exist between all the citizens of a state and that should be the source of sovereign power. From this fundamental premise he goes on to consider issues of liberty and law freedom and justice arriving at a view of society that has seemed to some a blueprint for totalitarianism to others a declaration of democratic principles. Translated and Introduced by Maurice Cranston
