About this ebook

The aim of the Discourse is to examine the foundations of inequality among men, and to determine whether this inequality is authorised by natural law. Rousseau attempts to demonstrate that modern moral inequality, which is created by an agreement between men, is unnatural and unrelated to the true nature of man.
