Philosophy

paperback. Rejecting the view that anyone has a natural right to wield authority over others, this title argues instead for a pact, or 'social contract', that should exist between the citizens of a state and that should be the source of sovereign power. From this fundamental premise, it considers issues of liberty and law, as well as freedom and justice. Translator(s): Cranston, Maurice. Num Pages: 192 pages. BIC Classification: 3JF; HPCD; JPA; JPHC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 196 x 129 x 12. Weight in Grams: 146.
