| ROUSSEAU: WILL AND POWER EUR. St. — FRE 150 — PHILOS 113 Jean-Jacques Rousseau stands among the most influential European philosophers of the eighteenth century. While Claude Lévi-Strauss famously regarded the Discourse on the Origin of Inequality as foundational for modern anthropology, Rousseau’s political writings—especially the Discourse and The Social Contract—remain central to the tradition of political philosophy. This course offers a contextualized philosophical introduction to both his anthropology and his political theory. We will begin by examining Rousseau’s anthropological method, which he described in his Letter to Christophe de Beaumont as a “genealogy” of human vices. This method will be studied through the Discourse on Inequality and excerpts from the Émile. As we discuss the possible tensions between this genealogical approach and Rousseau’s normative political project—his “Principles of Political Right”—, we will then turn to his The Social Contract. Along the way, we will also consider lesser-known political writings and early drafts of Émile and The Social Contract. All texts will be situated within the philosophical debates of Rousseau’s time, including engagements with Hobbes, Locke, Leibniz, Malebranche, and Diderot, and will be read in light of their broader legacy in thinkers such as Kant and Hegel. Throughout the course, we will focus on the conceptual pair of will and power as a guiding thread. This focus is motivated by two claims: first, that Rousseau’s central and most original idea—the natural goodness of human beings—rests on an analysis of the relationship between will and power; and second, that his account of the General Will is inseparable from his grounding of political authority in popular sovereignty and legislative power. Reading knowledge of French (for secondary sources) is helpful but not required. | ||
