Natural Goodness of Man - On the System of Rousseau''s Thought

Informationen zum Autor Arthur M. Melzer is professor of political science at Michigan State University, where he is also cofounder and codirector of the Symposium on Science, Reason, and Modern Democracy. He is the author of Philosophy Between the Lines. Klappentext Arthur M. Melzer makes this experiment in The Natural Goodness Of Man. The first two parts of the book restore the original, revolutionary significance of this now time-worn principle and examine the arguments Rousseau offers in proof of it. The final section unfolds and explains Rousseau's programmatic thought, especially the Social Contract, as a precise solution to the human problem as redefined by the principle of Natural Goodness.
