Discourse on the Origin of Inequality (Hackett Classics) / Rousseau, Jean-Jacques

Donald Cress's highly regarded translation, based on the critical Pl iade edition of 1964, is here issued with a lively introduction by James Miller, who brings into sharp focus the cultural and intellectual milieu in which Rousseau operated. This new edition includes a select bibliography, a note on the text, a translator s note, and Rousseau s own Notes on the Discourse.
