Synopsis:
A Discourse Upon The Origin And The Foundation Of The Inequality Among Mankind is a philosophical treatise written by Jean Jacques Rousseau. The book explores the concept of inequality among humans and attempts to explain its origin and foundation. Rousseau argues that inequality is not a natural or necessary condition of human society, but rather a result of historical and cultural factors. He suggests that the development of private property and the rise of social hierarchies have contributed to the unequal distribution of wealth and power in society. The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the natural state of humanity and Rousseau's theory of the ""noble savage"". He argues that in a state of nature, humans were equal and free, living in a peaceful and harmonious society. However, the development of agriculture and the invention of tools led to the creation of private property, which in turn led to the rise of social classes and inequality.The second part of the book explores the different forms of inequality that exist in society, including economic, political, and social inequality. Rousseau suggests that these forms of inequality are interconnected and reinforce each other, creating a system of oppression that benefits the few at the expense of the many.Overall, A Discourse Upon The Origin And The Foundation Of The Inequality Among Mankind is a thought-provoking and influential work of political philosophy that continues to be studied and debated today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Condition: Gut. Zustand: Gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | A Discourse Upon The Origin And The Foundation Of The Inequality Among Mankind is a great political science text on the subjects of equality and natural law by the great French philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau. The text contains this preface: THE most useful and least improved of all human Studies is, in my Opinion, that of Man, and I dare say, that the Inscription on the Temple of Delphos did alone contain a more important and difficult Precept than all the huge Volumes of the Moralists. I therefore consider the Subject of this Discourse, as one of the most interesting Questions Philosophy can propose, and, unhappily for us, one of the most knotty Philosophers can labour to solve: For how is it possible to know the Source of the Inequality among Men, without knowing Men themselves?

Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | A Discourse Upon The Origin And The Foundation Of The Inequality Among Mankind is a classic political science text on the subjects of natural law and equality by the great French wrter and philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau."'Tis of man I am to speak; and the very question, in answer to which I am to speak of him, sufficiently informs me that I am going to speak to men; for to those alone, who are not afraid of honouring truth, it belongs to propose discussions of this kind. I shall therefore maintain with confidence the cause of mankind before the sages, who invite me to stand up in its defence; and I shall think myself happy, if I can but behave in a manner not unworthy of my subject and of my judges.I conceive two species of inequality among men; one which I call natural,or physical inequality, because it is established by nature, and consists in the difference of age, health, bodily strength, and the qualities of the mind, or of the soul; the other which may be termed moral, or political inequality, because it depends on a kind of convention, and is established, or at least authorized, by the common consent of mankind. This species of inequality consists in the different privileges, which some men enjoy, to the prejudice of others, such as that of being richer, more honoured, more powerful, and even that of exacting obedience from them.".
