A Discourse Upon The Origin And The Foundation Of The Inequality Among Mankind

Exploring the roots of social inequality, Rousseau critically analyzes the societal structures that sustain it. He questions the essence of human society, justice, and governance, advocating for a reevaluation of norms to restore individual freedom and equality. This philosophical work challenges readers to reflect on the implications of inequality and envision a more just society. As a foundational text in political philosophy, Rousseau's ideas remain influential in contemporary discussions on politics, ethics, and social justice.
