社會契約論

前言

This little treatise is extracted from a larger work undertaken at an earlier time without consideration of my capacity, and long since abandoned. Of the various fragments that might be selected from what was accomplished, the following is the most considerable, and appears to me the least unworthy of being offered to the public. The rest of the work is no longer in existence.

內容概要

《社會契約論》主要探究是否存在合法的政治權威，“人是生而自由的，但卻無往不在枷鎖之中?！彼f的政治權威在我們的自然狀態(tài)中并不存在，所以我們需要一個社會契約。在社會契約中，每個人都放棄天然自由，而獲取契約自由；在參與政治的過程中，只有每個人同等地放棄全部天然自由，轉讓給整個集體，人類才能得到平等的契約自由。《社會契約論》中主權在民的思想是現(xiàn)代民主制度的基石，深刻地影響了逐步廢除歐洲君主絕對權力的運動，和18世紀末北美殖民地擺脫英帝國統(tǒng)治、建立民主制度的斗爭。美國的《獨立宣言》和法國的《人權宣言》及兩國的憲法均體現(xiàn)了《社會契約論》的民主思想。

章節(jié)摘錄

Even if each person could alienate himself, he could not alienate his children; they are born free men; their liberty belongs to them, and no one has a right to dispose of it except themselves. Before they have come to years of discretion, the father can, in their name, stipulate conditions for their preservation and welfare, but not surrender them irrevocably and unconditionally; for such a gift is contrary to the ends of nature, and exceeds the rights of paternity.In order, then, that an arbitrary government might be legitimate, it would be necessary that the people in each generation should have the option of accepting or rejecting it; but in that case such a government would no longer be arbitrary. To renounce one's liberty is to renounce one's quality as a man, the rights and also the duties of humanity. For him who re-nounces everything there is no possible compensation. Such a renunciation is incompatible with man's nature, for to take awayall freedom from his will is to take away all morality from his actions. In short, a convention which stipulates absolute authority on the one side and unlimited obedience on the other is vain and contradictory. Is it not clear that we are under no obligations whatsoever towards a man from whom we have a right to demand everything？ And does not this single condition, without equivalent, without exchange, involve the nullity of the act？ For what right would my slave have against me since all that he has belongs to me？ His rights being mine, this right of me against myself is a meaningless phrase.
