“John T. Scott is one of the preeminent Rousseau scholars in the world, and he exhibits his expertise here. This new translation is in every particular superb: faithful to the French, albeit not mulishly so; and stylishly readable. Indeed, I think it combines these two qualities better than any other English translation that currently exists. Also, Scott’s introduction provides a compass to navigate Rousseau’s textual waters that will help both beginner and scholar to reach shore.”—Stuart Warner, Roosevelt University
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–78) was a leading Genevan philosopher and political theorist and one of the key figures of the Enlightenment. John T. Scott is professor of political science at the University of California, Davis; he has edited or translated several volumes on Rousseau and is coauthor of The Philosopher’s Quarrel: Rousseau, Hume, and the Limits of Human Understanding.

这篇书评是我对社会契约论的一个简单的思路整理和对一些比较有启示的话的思考。 知识在总是在错综复杂的关系中连通着。 1.自由: 卢梭从人的自由开始起论。“人是生而自由的,却无往不在枷锁之中,自以为是自由的主人的人,反而比其他一切更是奴隶”。 什么是自由?一个人...

评分卢梭在两个多世纪之前的这本著作也许是第一次甚至也是最后一次如此清晰的描绘了人类社会应有的完美图景。它不是柏拉图的“理想国”,不是托马斯·莫尔的“乌托邦”,不是亚当·斯密的资本主义当然更不会是被中国特色化了的社会主义。 它甚至简单到只有寥寥100多页的篇幅,论述...
评分我曾经觉得卢梭是一个口是心非的人物。之所以给我这样的感觉,源于他早年的一篇文章《论科学与艺术》。当时第戎学院有奖征答一个问题,即艺术和科学的复兴有没有改善人们的举止和道德。卢梭的好友狄德罗建议他回答“不”,因为这样的回答更容易得奖。最后,无论出于怎样的动机...
评分卢梭在《社会契约论》中用公意、主权、人民、契约、自由、平等等词语勾勒的政治哲学框架(主要是政府与政治共同体的框架)相当大程度将我们带到了一条自相矛盾的死胡同当中,对于诸多的内在矛盾和疑问很难在卢梭自己的体系里面解决,即便是某些体系内自圆其说的部分其实按照我...

Individualist and communitarian. Anarchist and totalitarian. Classicist and romanticist. Progressive and reactionary. Since the eighteenth century, Jean-Jacques Rousseau has been said to be all of these things. Few philosophers have been the subject of as much or as intense debate, yet almost everyone agrees that Rousseau is among the most important and influential thinkers in the history of political philosophy. This new edition of his major political writings, published in the year of the three-hundredth anniversary of his birth, renews attention to the perennial importance of Rousseau’s work.
The book brings together superb new translations by renowned Rousseau scholar John T. Scott of three of Rousseau’s works: the Discourse on the Sciences and Arts, the Discourse on the Origin and Foundations of Inequality Among Men, and On the Social Contract. The two discoursesshow Rousseau developing his well-known conception of the natural goodness of man and the problems posed by life in society. With the Social Contract, Rousseau became the first major thinker to argue that democracy is the only legitimate form of political organization. Scott’s extensive introduction enhances our understanding of these foundational writings, providing background information, social and historical context, and guidance for interpreting the works. Throughout, translation and editorial notes clarify ideas and terms that might not be immediately familiar to most readers.
The three works collected in The Major Political Writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau represent an important contribution to eighteenth-century political theory that has exerted an extensive influence on generations of thinkers, beginning with the leaders of the French Revolution and continuing to the present day. The new translations on offer here will be welcomed by a wide readership of both Rousseau scholars and readers with a general interest in political thought.

评分Human societies as Rousseau portrays them in the Discourse on Inequality are riddled with dependence on men, a dependence that corrupts us and makes us unfree. In the Social Contract, Rousseau finds a form of association where we are insofar as possible dependent only on the laws of our own free choosing: self-legislative sovereignty.
