About this audiobook
"Discourse on Inequality" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau explores the origins and effects of social inequality. Rousseau reflects on the evolution of human societies, arguing that inequality arises from the development of private property and the establishment of civil society. He critiques the impact of civilization on human virtue and freedom, advocating for a return to a more natural and egalitarian state. The discourse delves into philosophical reflections on the nature of humanity, societal structures, and the pursuit of a just and harmonious existence. Read in English, unabridged.
