Review
"This will prove to be a very useful and widely used commentary on the "Social Contract filling a surprising gap in the market. It is sober, lucid and well-judged throughout and will, I am confident, be justly well-received, well-respected and well-thumbed."

Useful guide
3 April 2005
Format:Paperback
This is a vey useful guide to the social contract. It's especially good in showing how The Social Contract fits with Roussea's other writings. It would be a good book for students of political science, philosophy, or those interested in European history. It doesn't presuppose a great deal of philosophical background, but isn't boring for those who have it. I especially though that Bertram did a nice job of connecting The Social Contract with Rousseau's other writings, showing how they fit together (or don't, as the case may be.) I would have liked it to be a bit longer and more in depth at times, but it's a nicely done, informative, and readable book.
