Translated from the French & With An Introduction by Maurice Cranston. 188 pages. paperback. The cover shows Cochin's engraving of Rousseau delivering his discourse, reproduced by permission of the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris (photo: Bulloz). keywords: Penguin Classic Paperback France Literature Translated Autobiography Philosophy. FROM THE PUBLISHER-A DISCOURSE ON INEQUALITY is one of the most revolutionary documents to have come out of eighteenth-century Europe. The discourse sets out to demonstrate how the growth of civilization corrupts man's natural happiness and freedom by creating artificial inequalities of wealth, power and social privilege. Rousseau contends that primitive man is equal to his fellows because he can be independent of them, but as societies become more sophisticated, the strongest and most intelligent members of the community gain an unnatural advantage over their weaker brethren, and the constitutions set up to rectify these imbalances through peace and justice in fact do nothing but perpetuate them. Probably the most influential of all Rousseau's works, the political and social arguments were to make the discourse a classic denunciation of the social conditions of his time. ‘The translation and introduction by Rousseau's biographer, Maurice Cranston, are admirably authoritative'-Sunday Times. inventory #29240.
