Its aim is to explain why, for Rousseau, thinking about politics ? whether as democratic sovereignty, representative government, institutionalised power, imaginative vision or a moment of decision ? lay at the heart of what he called his ?grand, sad system.? This book tracks the gradual emergence of the various components of that system and describes the connections between them. The result is a new and fresh interpretation of one of Europe?s most famous political thinkers, showing why Rousseau can be seen as one of the first theorists of the modern concept of civil society and a key source of the problematic modern idea of a federal system. 410 0$aHistory of European Political and Constitutional Thought;$v2. 606 $aPolitical science$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aGeneral will 606 $aSocial contract 606 $aCivil society 606 $aFederal government 615 0$aPolitical science$xHistory 615 0$aGeneral will. 615 0$aSocial contract. 615 0$aCivil society. 615 0$aFederal government. 676 $a320.01 700 $aSonenscher$b Michael$0249489 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809067903321 996 $aJean-Jacques Rousseau$93909247 997 $aUNINA
