Amour-propre Amour-propre (French, "self-love") is a concept in the philosophy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau that esteem depends upon the opinion of others. Rousseau contrasts it with "amour de soi", which also means "self-love", but which does not involve seeing oneself as others see one. According to Rousseau, "amour de soi" is more primitive and is compatible with wholeness and happiness, while "amour-propre" is an unnatural form of self-love that arose only with the appearance of society and individuals' consequent ability to compare themselves with one another. Rousseau thought that "amour-propre" was subject to corruption, thereby causing vice and misery.
