Abstract: | <p>This thesis is a comparative study of Rousseau's Premier Discours and-Du Contract Social.

Democracy, we assume, presupposes self-restraint, more specifically, the self-restraint of the few best citizens. The question then is-·does science support those virtues by which men may be persuaded to serve democracy or, quite the contrary, to destroy it?</p> |
