Lo que hace de este libro de Rousseau un clásico fundacional del pensamiento político de la modernidad es el modo en que elabora una teoría de la soberanía como sujeto y una formulación del punto de vista de la legitimidad como instancia crítica. El Contrato social, como el propio Rousseau nos indica en las Confesiones, constituye la primera parte doctrinal de una obra sobre Instituciones políticas en la que el autor comenzó a trabajar hacia 1750 y que, probablemente por razones teóricas, nunca llegó a acabar.

Así como en Emilio Rousseau narra y teoriza la construcción de un sujeto humano, a la vez individual y genérico, que ejemplifica la construcción de una identidad racional, en la que cultura y naturaleza se entrelazan de forma no opresiva, el Contrato social construye un sujeto colectivo, la voluntad general, que permite pensar el tipo de vínculo social legítimo en el que no habría contradicción entre individuo y colectividad.

Más allá de los debates específicos a que la propuesta de Rousseau ha conducido, su actualidad es considerable en una sociedad como la nuestra que, al hablar de «muerte de lo político» y hasta de «sociedad sin hombres», se está quedando sin categorías filosóficas desde las que pensar el espacio político indispensable para dirimir los nuevos conflictos.

Work Description

The Social Contract, originally published as On the Social Contract; or, Principles of Political Right (French: Du contrat social; ou, Principes du droit politique), is a 1762 French-language book by the Genevan philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The book theorizes about the best way to establish a political community in the face of the problems of commercial society, which Rousseau had already identified in his Discourse on Inequality (1755).

The Social Contract helped inspire political reforms or revolutions in Europe, especially in France. The Social Contract argued against the idea that monarchs were divinely empowered to legislate. Rousseau asserts that only the people, who are sovereign, have that all-powerful right. (Source: Wikipedia)
