91桃色

Patrick Riley traces the forgotten roots of Rousseau’s concept to seventeenth-century questions about the justice of God. If He wills that all men be saved, does He have a general will that produces universal salvation? And, if He does not, why does He will particularly鈥� that some men be damned? The theological origin of the 鈥済eneral will鈥� was important to Rousseau himself. He uses the language of divinity bequeathed to him by Pascal, Malebranche, Fenelon, and others to dignify, to elevate, and to 鈥渟ave鈥� politics.

Originally published in 1986.
