With splendid new translations, these four major works offer a superlative introduction to a great social philosopher whose ideas helped spark a revolution that has still not ended. Can individual freedom and social stability be reconciled? What is the function of government? What are the benefits and liabilities of civilization? What is the original nature of man, and how can he most fully realize his potential? These were the questions that Jean-Jacques Rousseau investigated in works that helped set the stage for the French Revolution and have since stood as eloquent expressions of revolutionary views, not only in politics but also in such areas as personal lifestyles and educational practices. Rousseau's concepts of the natural goodness of man, the corrupting influence of social institutions, and the right and the power of the people to overthrow their oppressors and create new and more responsive forms of government and society are as richly relevant today as they were in eighteenth-century France. Includes: The Social Contract Discourse on Inequality Discourse on the Arts and Sciences "The Creed of a Savoyard Priest" (from Emile)

This completely revised and updated anthology includes recent events, commentaries, and opinions of world thinkers, as well as documents that extend from the Magna Carta to the Vienna Accords, to cover over eight centuries of political and philosophical discussion and dissent. Through examining the works of John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, and Andrei Sakharov; documents such as the US Constitution, the UN Charter, and the Helsinki Agreement; activist leaders like Nelson Mandela, Bishop Desmond Tutu, and Mikhail Gorbachev; and such influential human rights organizations as Amnesty International, we get a picture of how much we have achieved and how far we have yet to go.
