內容簡介

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are.

《社會契約論》是一部政治哲學著作。它探討的是政治權利的原理，它的主旨是為人民民主主權的建立奠定理論基礎。它的問世，是時代的需要，是人類社會向前進步的產物；它正確回答了歷史進程提出的問題：法國命運的航船駛向何方。人類是幸運的，人民是偉大的，在歷史發展的緊要關頭，總有人指引前進的道路，人民總能及時做出正確的抉擇。“在18世紀的法國政治思想領域裏，存在着三種改革國家政治制度的學説：孟德斯鳩主張立憲君主制，伏爾泰主張開明的君主制，而盧梭主張民主共和制。

作者簡介

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Peter Constantine's honors include the PEN Translation Prize, the National Translation Award, the Helen and Kurt Wolff Translation Prize, and Greece’s Translators of Literature Prize. He translated Machiavelli’s The Prince for Vintage Classics.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was born in Geneva in 1712. He was a writer and political theorist of the Enlightenment. In 1750 he published his first important work 'A Discourse on the Sciences and the Arts' (1750) where he argued that man had become corrupted by society and civilisation. In 1755, he published 'Discourse on the Origin of Inequality' and in 'The Social Contract' (1762) he argued, "Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains". This political treatise earned him exile from his home city of Geneva and arguably inspired the French Revolution (his ashes were transferred to the Pantheon in Paris in 1794). He also wrote '?mile', a treatise on education and 'The New Eloise' (1761). This novel scandalised the French authorities who ordered Rousseau's arrest. In his last 10 years, Rousseau wrote his 'Confessions'. In The Confessions he remembers his adventurous life, his achievements and the persecution he suffered from opponents. His revelations inspired the likes of Proust, Goethe and Tolstoy among others. Rousseau died on 2 July in France in 1778.

盧梭，18世紀法國啟蒙思想家、哲學家、教育家、文學家、音樂家，法國大革命的思想先驅，啟蒙運動最卓越的代表人物之一，被譽為“現代民主政體之父”。盧梭堅持社會契約論，主張建立資產階級的“理性王國”；強調自由平等，反對壓迫；提出“天賦人權”，反對專制、*政。其代表作有：《論人類不平等的起源和基礎》、 《社會契約論》、《愛彌兒》、《懺悔錄》等。
