The Theory of the Social Compact (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the long-held theory that social and political compacts, or agreements, form the foundation of government. From the ancient ideas of the social contract as postulated by Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau, the author examines this notion, beginning with its earliest formulation in the 17th century. This book traverses a wide range of political and social contexts within which the social contract theory has been situated over the centuries. It also examines the influence of the theory on historical events such as the American Revolution, where this doctrine played a pivotal role in the formation of the new nation. The author concludes by arguing that the social contract theory remains an important framework for understanding the relationship between citizens and their governments. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334450273_0
