| Summary: | Jean-Jacques Rousseau's 'Discurso sobre el origen y los fundamentos de la desigualdad entre los hombres' explores the origin and development of inequality among humans. The book delves into philosophical inquiries regarding whether inequality is sanctioned by natural law. Rousseau examines the transition from natural man to a society characterized by artificial constructs and the progression of inequality. Written in the context of the 18th century, Rousseau's work challenges contemporary ideas about the benefits of progress, engaging in a critique of civilization's impact on human morality and social structures. The intended audience includes scholars and readers interested in philosophy, social justice, and political theory.
