Jean-Jacques Rousseau,G.D.H. Cole,P.D. Jimack

  ,Inspired by ancient Greek city states, Rousseau searched for a way which states of his day could be equally representative,
,Holding men in wretched subservience, feudalismâ€“alongside religionâ€“was a powerful force in the eighteenth century. Self-serving monarchic social systems, which collectively reduced common people to servitude, were now attacked by Enlightenment philosophers, of whom Rouseau was a leading light.,His masterpiece, ,The Social Contract,, profoundly influenced the subsequent development of society and remains provocative in a modern age of continuing widespread vested interest. ,
  ,This is the most comprehensive paperback edition available, with introduction, notes, index and chronology of Rousseau's life and times.,
