A Brief Discussion on Rousseau’s Theory of Social Contract
Rousseau's The Social Contract deepens the thought of contract theory and provides a political design for the establishment of a Democratic Republic after the French Revolution. The theory of social contract has four main points: it criticizes some previous contractual ideas and reveals the essence of social contract. It mentions that the nature of the social contract is that the people are the Sovereign as a whole; it talks about the form of the state government and advocates the establishment of democratic republic system; it holds an opinion that it is a fundamental way to transform the ills of feudal society and implement democratic politics to replace the monarchy with the rule of law. The Social Contract also has some historical limitations in philosophy
politics and historical view; Rousseau's human unequal origin and social contract theory have many reasonable cores
shining in the glorious historical dialectics. However
it cannot be said that it has entered the door of historical materialism since it never gets rid of the stereotype of historical idealism. In addition
Rousseau advocated a theism of natural religion
supporting "civic religion" and showing the duality of his philosophy and religious thought. Due to the limitations of the times
Rousseau's theory of social contract did not exceed the category of political civilization in modern bourgeoisie. His ideal state of freedom
equality and happiness for all
with Utopian concept in theory
was in practice a more perfect design for the political system of the bourgeois republic.
