Document Summary
Landmark moments in rousseau"s history : society -necessary inter-dependence, inescapable>> roles , vanity, deception, social understanding of power (based on wealth and status in society) (discourse part ii). 357: society substitutes social depravity for natural compassion . Rousseau-subtitle of the social contract- principles of political right : economy - the first man who said this is mine and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society (362) Rousseau does not hate private property, he just believes in private property stemming from the citizen body and us deriving a share, rather than the petty tyranny of claiming ownership and threatening those who threaten you. Marxists like rousseau because he recognizes that your role in the economic system becomes your life, therefore it should be our first priority to prevent inequality and preserve freedom>>very important that nobody becomes enslaved.
