Hilail Gildin, Rousseau’s Social Contract (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1985).
From the publisher:
Rousseau’s Social Contract unquestionably ranks among the most important and influential political treatises ever written. Yet, owing both its brevity and its complexity, it is often misunderstood. Hilail Gilding provides a step-by-step, easy-to-outline of Rousseau’s argument in the Social Contract, relating the argument’s part to each other and to the work’s overall conception. Rousseau’s conclusions, Gilding shows, are not only coherent but follow from a lucid and conscious design.
