In this episode, Erick Nganyange and Professor Ron Cline discusses the contents of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's book "On the Social Contract", which was published in 1762. Rousseau, a significant political philosopher of the 18th century, was born in Geneva, an independent Calvinist city-state, in 1712. The focus of the discussion is Rousseau's concept of a political system based on a social contract established by the collective will of the people.
Some of the key topics examined by Erick and Professor Ron include the social contract itself, the state of nature, freedom, civil society, private property, law, and partial associations such as churches, book clubs, knitting clubs, and the like.
