El Contrato Social, escrito por Rousseau en 1762, es un tratado político fundamental que defiende la idea de un contrato social basado en la voluntad general de la población. Rousseau argumenta que la soberanía debe residir en el pueblo y que los individuos deben someterse a la voluntad colectiva para preservar la libertad y la igualdad. La obra discute los conceptos de democracia directa, la importancia de la participación ciudadana y la necesidad de un gobierno legítimo basado en el consentimiento de la población.

Rôdant autour de ces questions, essayant, comme au clavier, une voix juste au-dedans de moi, je tente de dire de longues, [...] phrases, et de les murmurer au plus près de l'autre qui pourtant les aspire, soupire, expire, les dicte même."

Voulez-vous perdre du poids ? Vous cherchez un programme minceur facile à suivre ? Beaucoup de régimes sont difficiles à suivre parce que l'apport en calories est très faible et l'on a beaucoup de mal à garder une volonté intacte aussi longtemps que nécessaire.
