Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Du contrat social ou Principes du droit politique est un ouvrage de philosophie politique pensé et écrit par Jean-Jacques Rousseau, publié en 1762. L'oeuvre a constitué un tournant décisif pour la modernité et s'est imposée comme un des textes majeurs de la philosophie politique, en affirmant le principe de souveraineté du peuple appuyé sur les notions de liberté, d'égalité, et de volonté générale. Dans Du contrat social, Rousseau établit qu'une organisation sociale juste repose sur un pacte garantissant l'égalité et la liberté entre tous les citoyens. Ce pacte est contracté entre tous les participants, c'est-à-dire l'ensemble exhaustif des citoyens. Dans le pacte social, chacun renonce à sa liberté naturelle pour gagner une liberté civile. La souveraineté populaire est le principe fondamental du contrat social. L'indivisibilité de cette souveraineté est un autre principe fondamental, par lequel il faut comprendre que le pouvoir du Souverain ne saurait être divisé (Rousseau emploie ce terme pour désigner le peuple souverain) et il ne peut s'en séparer par intérêt particulier, car l'intérêt particulier est contraire à la recherche de l'intérêt général, seul objectif du contrat social. Ce contrat social, Rousseau le voit comme faisant suite à l'état de nature dans lequel règne le droit du plus fort. Pour lui, le droit du plus fort ne peut être un principe directeur d'une société car il est incompatible avec l'intérêt général, et donc avec le contrat social: Le plus fort n'est jamais assez fort pour être toujours le maître, s'il ne transforme sa force en droit et l'obéissance en devoir. Du contrat social est un traité de philosophie politique présentant comment l'homme, passé de l'état de nature à l'état de société, peut instituer un ordre social au service de l'intérêt général.

Download or read book Rousseau and Hobbes written by Robin Douglass and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robin Douglass presents the first comprehensive study of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's engagement with Thomas Hobbes. He reconstructs the intellectual context of this engagement to reveal the deeply polemical character of Rousseau's critique of Hobbes and to show how Rousseau sought to expose that much modern natural law and doux commerce theory was, despite its protestations to the contrary, indebted to a Hobbesian account of human nature and the origins of society. Throughout the book Douglass explores the reasons why Rousseau both followed and departed from Hobbes in different places, while resisting the temptation to present him as either a straightforwardly Hobbesian or anti-Hobbesian thinker. On the one hand, Douglass reveals the extent to which Rousseau was occupied with problems of a fundamentally Hobbesian nature and the importance, to both thinkers, of appealing to the citizens' passions in order to secure political unity. On the other hand, Douglass argues that certain ideas at the heart of Rousseau's philosophy--free will and the natural goodness of man--were set out to distance him from positions associated with Hobbes. Douglass advances an original interpretation of Rousseau's political philosophy, emerging from this encounter with Hobbesian ideas, which focuses on the interrelated themes of nature, free will, and the passions. Douglass distances his interpretation from those who have read Rousseau as a proto-Kantian and instead argues that his vision of a well-ordered republic was based on cultivating man's naturally good passions to render the life of the virtuous citizen in accordance with nature.

Download or read book Curating Community written by Stacy Douglas and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Curating Community: Museums, Constitutionalism, and the Taming of the Political, Stacy Douglas challenges the centrality of sovereignty in our political and juridical imaginations. Creatively bringing together constitutional, political, and aesthetic theory, Douglas argues that museums and constitutions invite visitors to identify with a prescribed set of political constituencies based on national, ethnic, or anthropocentric premises. In both cases, these stable categories gloss over the radical messiness of the world and ask us to conflate representation with democracy. Yet the museum, when paired with the constitution, can also serve as a resource in the production of alternative imaginations of community. Consequently, Douglas’s key contribution is the articulation of a theory of counter-monumental constitutionalism, using the museum, that seeks to move beyond individual and collective forms of sovereignty that have dominated postcolonial and postapartheid theories of law and commemoration. She insists on the need to reconsider deep questions about how we conceptualize the limits of ourselves, as well as our political communities, in order to attend to everyday questions of justice in the courtroom, the museum, and beyond. Curating Community is a book for academics, artists, curators, and constitutional designers interested in legacies of violence, transitional justice, and democracy.
Download or read book Invisible Hands Russian Experience and Social Science written by Stefan Hedlund and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-20 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates cases in which national and international activities have gone massively wrong, entailing seriously negative consequences, and in which the sophisticated analytical models of social science have ceased to be helpful. Illustrations range from the global financial crisis to the failure to achieve speedy systemic change in the former Soviet Union and the failure to achieve development in the Third World. The analysis uses as a backdrop long-term Russian history and short-term Russian encounters with unrestrained capitalism to develop a framework that is based in the so-called new institutionalism. Understanding the causes of systemic failure is shown to require an approach that spans across the increasingly specialized subdisciplines of modern social science. Demonstrating that increasing theoretical sophistication has been bought at the price of a loss of perspective and the need for sensitivity to the role of cultural and historical specificity, the book pleads the case for a new departure in seeking to model the motives for human action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, Merle L. Perkins links individual freedom with national power in offering a close reading of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's major texts. He sees in Rousseau's thought an extreme tension and interdependence between the idiosyncrasy of nonconforming character and an almost obsessive concern with the external pressures operating on the state.
