- Rousseaus State of Nature The first man who, having fenced in a
piece of land, said "This is mine," and found people nave enough to
believe him, that man was the true founder of civil society. From
how many crimes, wars, and murders, from how many horrors and
misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the
stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows: Beware
of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget
that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself
to nobody. ~Rousseau Discourse on the Origin of Inequality The

Discourse on the Origin of Inequality
- Slide 17
- What it means Rousseau is pointing out that in the State of
Nature, man was not at war, but only cared about primal needs (i.e.
food, shelter, water, etc). Really only self-focused. For Rousseau,
civil society as we know it only accompanies the advent of property
and restriction. Because of the limitations placed on property,
mans peaceful nature was corrupted by society.
- Slide 18
- Rousseaus Social Contract In fact, each individual, as a man,
may have a particular will contrary or dissimilar to the general
will which he has as a citizen. His particular interest may speak
to him quite differently from the common interest: his absolute and
naturally independent existence may make him look upon what he owes
to the common cause as a gratuitous contribution, the loss of which
will do less harm to others than the payment of it is burdensome to
himself; and, regarding the moral person which constitutes the
State as a persona ficta, because not a man, he may wish to enjoy
the rights of citizenship without being ready to fulfil the duties
of a subject. The continuance of such an injustice could not but
prove the undoing of the body politic.
- Slide 19
- In order then that the social compact may not be an empty
formula, it tacitly includes the undertaking, which alone can give
force to the rest, that whoever refuses to obey the general will
shall be compelled to do so by the whole body. This means nothing
less than that he will be forced to be free; for this is the
condition which, by giving each citizen to his country, secures him
against all personal dependence. In this lies the key to the
working of the political machine; this alone legitimises civil
undertakings, which, without it, would be absurd, tyrannical, and
liable to the most frightful abuses. ~Rousseau Du Contrat

- Slide 22
- What it means Rousseaus concept of the Social contract differs
from both Hobbes and Locke. He argues that the social contract
should be something of a general will. This general will may be
contrary to their individual decisions, but ultimately they wish to
seek unity and harmony in the world and promote the best for the
society. Rousseaus method of social contract is one that preaches a
unanimous social contract rather than one only supported by the
majority.
