Thought Of Jean Rousseau

Jean Rousseau was born in Geneva, Switzerland on June 28, 1712, he was a philosopher, writer and also a musician. Recognized as an enlightened thinker, Rousseau, with his republican theories, was part of the political ideas that greatly influenced the French Revolution. His most outstanding work was "The Social Contract."
The fundamental premise of Rousseau's theory was raised to defend the democratic system and thus attack the absolute monarchies: “Everything is perfect when it leaves the hands of the Creator and everything degenerates into the hands of the mens".
 Jean Jacques Rousseau's social theory carries with it a series of social, community and state values ​​that should govern the relationships that occur in communities, in society and in the being and duty of the State, a topic that he addressed in his work: “The Contract Social".
In the "Discourse on the origin of inequality between men" Rousseau tries to mark the moment in which the natural state of man was enslaved by law and power.

Rousseau affirmed that in order to know the origin of inequality between men it was necessary to begin with understand man in himself, understanding that the human soul has transformed his essence within the society.
Rousseau establishes two types of inequalities in society; the first difference is the natural or physical one, that which is established by parameters such as age, health or body strength; the second archetype of disagreement is moral or political, those privileges that some enjoy even in prejudice of others, such as wealth, respect and power, determined by the consent of the mens.
