DODGE, GUY H. (EDITOR & INTRODUCTION) Jean - Jacques Rousseau: Authoritarian Libertarian?
D. C. Heath and Company, Boston: 1971. First Edition (Unstated). s Softcover. Good condition.
The key problem of this volume is centered around the famous "libertarian-authoritarian" or "force-freedom" paradox in the political theory of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, which has been the subject of intense controversy for more than two hundred year, thereby giving someindication of the influenc e and timeliness of his thought. On the one hand, passages of his works are cited where he opposes despotism, oppression, force, and injustice in favor of liberty, equality, and law, while on the other hand, very different selections are referred to which have authoritarian, if not even totalitarian, implications. Various explanations of this paradox make up the body of this Rousseau reader, which is based not only on the evolution of Rousseau's solution to the great problem of politics," but also on its appraisal by representartive critics in the nineteen and twentieth centuries.
