Considerations about idea of political representation in Rousseau’s Thesocial contract
Keywords:
Appearance. Freedom. Politics. Political representation.Abstract
In condemning the society of his time, Rousseau criticized politics radically. In this critique, mainly as it appears in his book The Social Contract, he rejects and condemns the political representation as manifested fundamentally in the legislative power. Thus, the purpose of this article is to analyze the position of this thinker and to present the reasons for his anger against this political system.References
