After Rousseau

Among the social-contract theorists, he may be the one, whose approach is most hardly accepted. We are told that his ideas were also controversial in his contemporay context, too. I wouldn't feel comfortable here trying to reflect you what he had pondered on, since a curious human form may approach and take what I uttered here seriously. However I would like to see him as a radical. He seems to have confessed that, man, in his state of nature was amoral and lacking the necessary devices of obtaining a moral perception towards nature and others. This was due to the fact that he had not yet developed language or devices of that sort to enable his integration into sociality. He was too dumb to realise what he could have gained if he had intensified his social contacts. But he believes in a morally united society... a morally united society... a united society... a society... take your time to think...They say that he is a modern thinker bringing back the philosophy of classical Greek era. This seems to be the reason under his radicality apart from his hectic life. By the way, contract theories are so anachronistic as a whole. Even though I can't see how his administrative system could work, I merely want to believe in his hope for liberty through employing a moral character upon the mankind. I want to believe in his hope for liberty...To believe in his hope for liberty...Believe in his hope for liberty...Hope for liberty...For liberty... Take your time... "But everywhere man is in chains"...
