Consideraciones respecto de la novedad antropológica rousseauniana y la crítica a la política burguesa en el Discurso sobre el origen y los fundamentos de la desigualdad entre los hombres

Abstract

This paper presents a reflection about Rousseau’s critic of burgess society. I will explain that the idea of the natural man is a reasonable hypothesis to prepare the idea of the best political model: a republic city governed by the General Will. At the same time, I will argue that the anthropological hypothesis and the idea of the right order are the paradigms to comprehend that selfishness, individualism, vanity and merchant spirit constitutes the causes of moral and political corruption.
