| discourse on the origin of inequality: A Discourse on Inequality Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 2016-04-26 A fascinating examination of the relationship between civilization and inequality from one of history’s greatest minds The first man to erect a fence around a piece of land and declare it his own founded civil society—and doomed mankind to millennia of war and famine. The dawn of modern civilization, argues Jean-Jacques Rousseau in this essential treatise on human nature, was also the beginning of inequality. One of the great thinkers of the Enlightenment, Rousseau based his work in compassion for his fellow man. The great crime of despotism, he believed, was the raising of the cruel above the weak. In this landmark text, he spells out the antidote for man’s ills: a compassionate revolution to pull up the fences and restore the balance of mankind.

| discourse on the origin of inequality: Discourse on the Origin of Inequality Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 2023-11-16 In Discourse on the Origin of Inequality, Jean-Jacques Rousseau presents a profound philosophical examination of the social constructs that give rise to inequality among men. Written in 1755, the work adopts a strikingly eloquent and often provocative style, blending historical analysis with a speculative account of human development. Rousseau delineates two forms of inequality: natural and moral, critiquing the ways in which societal structures distort human equality and freedoms. His inquiry situates itself within the broader intellectual currents of the Enlightenment, contrasting starkly with the prevailing notions of progress and civilization that justified social hierarchies. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a pivotal figure in Enlightenment thought, drew from his own experiences of social alienation and his belief in the inherent goodness of man to write this influential text. His formative years in Geneva, coupled with his passion for music, education, and political philosophy, fueled a desire to question the status quo and grapple with the moral implications of contemporary society. These influences culminate in a work that challenges readers to reconsider the moral foundation of their political structures and societal norms. Discourse on the Origin of Inequality is essential reading for anyone interested in political philosophy, social justice, or the foundational principles of modern democratic thought. Rousseau's ability to articulate the paradoxes of human society invites deep reflection and critical engagement, making this discourse not only historically significant but also strikingly relevant in contemporary discussions about inequality. |

| discourse on the origin of inequality: A Dissertation on the Origin and Foundation of the Inequality of Mankind Jean Rousseau, Will Jonson, 2014-08-19 Rousseau argues that inequalities of rank, wealth, and power are the inevitable result of the civilizing process. If inequality is intolerable - and Rousseau shows with unparalleled eloquence how it robs us not only of our material but also of our psychological independence - then how can we recover the peaceful self-sufficiency of life in the state of nature? We cannot return to a simpler time, but measuring the costs of progress may help us to imagine alternatives to the corruption and oppressive conformity of modern society. Rousseau's sweeping account of humanity's social and political development epitomizes the innovative boldness of the Enlightenment, and it is one of the most provocative and influential works of the eighteenth century.

| discourse on the origin of inequality: Discourse on the Origin of Inequality Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 2018-03-25 Rousseau first exposes in Discourse on the Origin of Inequality his conception of a human state of nature, presented as a philosophical fiction and of human perfectibility, an early idea of progress. He then explains the way, according to him, people may have established civil society, which leads him to present private property as the original source and basis of all inequality. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712 – 1778) was a Genevan philosopher, writer, and composer of the 18th century, mainly active in France. His political philosophy influenced the Enlightenment across Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the overall development of modern political and educational thought. |
| discourse on the origin of inequality: A Discourse on the Origin of Inequality (Translated by G. D. H. Cole) Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 2018-04 Genevan philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau was one of the most influential figures of the 18th century. His political philosophy has been pointed to as a major contributing factor in causing the French Revolution. Social and economic inequality has been a pervasive element of human existence for the entirety of recorded history. The causes of this inequality are principal to the discussion of political, legal, and economic theory. Rousseau acknowledges two primary forces that bring about inequality in the world. The first is that which arises from natural law. Given the fact that some men are more capable in both their desire and ability to produce wealth, it is only natural that some inequality will arise. Rousseau argued however that a greater inequality comes from a secondary cause, that which arises from the structural deficiencies of civil society. Central to A Discourse on on the Origin of Inequality is the idea that as civilizations have grown so has the power of the privileged to gain an unnatural advantage over the weaker members of society. As relevant today as when first written, the influence of Rousseau's philosophy on the development of modern society cannot be overstated. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the translation of G. D. H. Cole. |

| discourse on the origin of inequality: Charisma and Disenchantment: The Vocation Lectures Max Weber, 2020-02-04 A new translation of two celebrated lectures on politics, academia, and the disenchantment of the world. The German sociologist Max Weber is one of the most venturesome, stimulating, and influential theorists of the modern condition. Among his most significant works are the so-called vocation lectures, published shortly after the end of World War I and delivered at the invitation of a group of student activists. The question the students asked Weber to address was simple and haunting: In a modern world characterized by the division of labor, economic expansion, and unrelenting change, was it still possible to consider an academic or political career as a genuine calling? In response Weber offered his famous diagnosis of “the disenchantment of the world,” along with a challenging account of the place of morality in the classroom and in research. In his second lecture he introduced the notion of political charisma, assigning it a central role in the modern state, even as he recognized that politics is more than anything “a slow and difficult drilling of holes into hard boards.” Damion Searls’s new translation brings out the power and nuance of these celebrated lectures. Paul Reitter and Chad Wellmon’s introduction describes their historical and biographical background, reception, and influence. Weber’s effort to rethink the idea of a public calling at the start of the tumultuous twentieth century is revealed to be as timely and stirring as ever. |

| discourse on the origin of inequality: The Major Political Writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 2012-10-17 This “fresh new rendition of Rousseau’s major political writings is a boon for scholars and students alike”—with a critical introduction by the translator (Richard Boyd, Georgetown University). Individualist and communitarian. Anarchist and totalitarian. Progressive and reactionary. Since the eighteenth century, Jean-Jacques Rousseau has been called all of these things. Few philosophers have been the subject of such intense debate, yet almost everyone agrees that Rousseau is among the most important political thinkers in history. Renowned Rousseau scholar John T. Scott highlights his enduring influence with this superb new edition of his major political writings. This volume includes authoritative and lucid new translations of 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 Discourses show 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. |

| discourse on the origin of inequality: Against Rousseau Joseph de Maistre, 1996-06-01 On the State of Nature and On the Sovereignty of the People are Maistre's most comprehensive treatment of Rousseau's ideas and his most sustained critique of the ideological foundations of the revolution. On the State of Nature, a detailed critique of Rousseau's Discourse on the Origin and Foundations of Inequality, focuses on Rousseau's belief in the natural goodness of man; On the Sovereignty of the People, a critique of Social Contract, explores Rousseau's theory of popular sovereignty. In Maistre's eyes Rousseau encouraged the socially destructive individualism that lay at the heart of the French Revolution. However, the essays reveal some surprising ambiguities in the relationship between two seminal thinkers who are usually thought of as polar opposites, suggesting that Maistre's vision was more akin to Rousseau's than he would have admitted. Against Rousseau offers valuable insights into the evolution of Maistre's counter-revolutionary ideas during the crucial years of 1792-97 and illustrates his remarkable insights into society and politics. It is vital to any consideration of his thought or the counter-revolutionary movement in eighteenth-century France. |

| discourse on the origin of inequality: On the Origin of Inequality Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 2005-11-01 If we look at human society with a calm and disinterested eye, it seems, at first, to show us only the violence of the powerful and the oppression of the weak. The mind is shocked at the cruelty of the one, or is induced to lament the blindness of the other...-from the PrefaceAre such concepts of race, class, and wealth inherent to the human condition, or are they results of the development of civilization? One of the most important thinkers of the Enlightenment, which laid the groundwork for the modern mind-set, argues that it is only with the creation of agriculture and urban society that inequalities formed. Controversy swirls around the text-some of today's thinkers continue to consider it profound; others contend that it relies on an unsupportable noble savage foundation. In either case, this 1752 is one of the greatest works of 18th-century philosophy.Swiss philosopher JEAN JACQUES ROUSSEAU (1712-1778) was a dramatic influence on the French revolution, 19th-century communism, and much modern political thought. His works include Discourse on the Arts and Sciences (1750), Discourse on Political Economy (1755), and The Social Contract, Or Principles of Political Right (1762). |
| discourse on the origin of inequality: Discourse on the Origin of Inequality Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 2020-11-12 Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality among Men, often abbreviated to Discourse on Inequality, is a treatise on human nature in civil society, in which the author inquires about what divides people from people and how those inequalities originated in the first place. His work is divided into four sections, namely the Dedication, the Preface, then the First and Second Parts of A Dissertation on the Origin and Foundation of the Inequality of Mankind.To begin with, Rousseau dedicates the work to his birthplace, Geneva. He praises the social system in Geneva as an ideal, near-perfect one. In his utopian and highly idealized vision of Geneva, he notes how the laws and institutions there are just and stable, how its inhabitants live in mutual harmony and continue with the community spirit, and how the State of Geneva maintains a friendly and peaceful relationship with its neighboring countries by neither threatening them nor being threatened by them. Rousseau's Utopian picture of 18th-century Geneva was far from an accurate one, and the state in his writing seems to be more of an ideal embodiment of the virtues he had always wished for, rather than an accurate picture of Geneva itself. Thus, the idealized Geneva turns to be a counter-discourse to the contemporary Paris, the city where Rousseau had spent quite a few years of his life and the city he would leave afterwards with dejection. |
| discourse on the origin of inequality: Discourse on the Origin of Inequality Among Men (Dodo Press) Jean Jacques Rousseau, 2009 Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) was a major Genevan philosopher, writer, and composer of the Enlightenment, whose political philosophy influenced the French Revolution and the development of liberal, conservative, and socialist theory.

His most noted work was an article on political economy written in 1755. In the same year, Rousseau completed his second major work, the Discourse on the Origin of Inequality Among Men. In 1761, he published the successful romantic novel Julie; ou, La Nouvelle Héloïse (The New Heloise). In 1762, he published two major books: The Social Contract and Émile; or; On Education. In 1772, he was invited to present recommendations for a new constitution for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, resulting in the Considerations on the Government of Poland, which was to be his last major political work. In 1776 he completed Dialogues: Rousseau Judge of Jean-Jacques and began work on the Reveries of the Solitary Walker. |

| discourse on the origin of inequality: Discourse on the Origin of Inequality (100 Copy Collector's Edition) Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 2020-09-08 Discourse on the Origin of Inequality is a philosophical work first published in 1755. In his Discourse, Rousseau exposes his conception of a human state of nature, broadly believed to be a hypothetical thought exercise, and of human perfectibility, an early idea of progress. He explains the way in which, in his view, people may have established civil society, which leads him to conclude that private property is the original source and basis of all inequality. The text was written in 1754 in response to a prize competition of the Academy of Dijon answering the prompt What is the origin of inequality among people, and is it authorized by natural law? Rousseau did not win with his treatise but published the work the following year. The work is dedicated to the state of Geneva, Rousseau's birthplace, which he praises as a good, if not perfect, republic.
