About this product
Product Information
This book is intended to be useful for students reading the Social Contract seriously for the first time. Its chapter-by-chapter analysis makes it uniquely student-friendly, especially where students are seeking to gain insight into particular passages and issues in the text. It will also be useful for scholars for similar reasons. Further, this is the only commentary on the Social Contract that offers an extended treatment of Rousseau's notorious general will, which stands as one of the most important concepts in the history of political thought.

"David Lay Williams's masterful Rousseau's 'Social Contract' clarifies a notoriously difficult work without explaining away the paradoxes that animate it. Students, teachers, and grizzled political science veterans will all benefit from Williams's eye for textual detail, his attention to Rousseau's context, and his knowledge of and fair-mindedness toward rival interpretations." Jonathan Marks, Ursinus College, "Both immensely useful to students and a deeply illuminating resource for scholars, David Lay Williams offers a fine-grained interpretation of Rousseau's Social Contract that incisively connects it to his other writings, to his intellectual forebears and contemporaries, and to some of his most important successors. An impressive achievement that will benefit readers of Rousseau long into the future." -- -- Sankar Muthu, University of Chicago, "Both immensely useful to students and a deeply illuminating resource for scholars, David Lay Williams offers a fine-grained interpretation of Rousseau's Social Contract that incisively connects it to his other writings, to his intellectual forebears and contemporaries, and to some of his most important successors.

Sankar Muthu, University of Chicago, "David Lay Williams's splendid new commentary on Rousseau's greatest contribution to political philosophy will rapidly become the "standard" work on this subject. In The Social Contract Rousseau formulates his most famous idea, "the general will", and Williams throws more light on this difficult notion than any scholar in the past half-century. This is a truly remarkable book." Patrick Riley, author of The General Will Before Rousseau, "The chief merit of David Lay Williams's Rousseau's Social Contract: An Introduction lies in the way it confronts the many tensions of a work notorious for the extent of disagreement (and outright hostility) generated over its purported meaning. While Williams's reading offers a reliable guide to the conflicting interpretations, it also situates Du contrat social within the context of Rousseau's thinking and its philosophical legacy."

Organized around a systematic, chapter-by-chapter walk-through of the text, Williams's book stands as a valuable guide to the central lessons and tensions of Rousseau's most notable and notorious political work. The clarity of its analysis, together with its sensitivity to Rousseau's intellectual and political contexts as well as today's scholarly debates, will render this book extremely useful to students and teachers alike."

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
