I don't want to devalue this board with questions as opposed to debates, but i can't think where else to ask. I know that The social contract 'as told by' Rousseau is more complicated to fit on a page, but i was wondering does anyone know of a good site where i can get a very brief analysis of it just for a quick read before 21/05/04 ? thanks

Hmmm, I don't know of a site but I can sum up what I understood of it :
Once life without society becomes impossible for whatever reason a society must be created. A society being a group of individuals acting as one body. That body's will is the 'volonté généralle' which I'm pretty sketchy on what exactly it is.
Liberty according to the social contract is defined as the most free you can be without interfering over another's liberty.

Breaching the contract makes it null and void.

"Durch Nacht und Blut das Licht"

...its a little more comlex than that , especially considering i have to write a full analysis on it, but thankyou for replying anyway.
