J.-J. Rousseau on Republicanism - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 45 Republicanism/Rousseau: Modern republicanism, which, from a modified connection to the old European republicanism of the Greek polis and the Roman res publica, proceeds from a primacy of the state or politics over society, is founded in opposition to liberalism and criticizes its glorification of bourgeois society. He takes up the theoretical achievements of the liberal tradition and gives them a critical turn: Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) establishes the primacy of politics in a contractualist way in the form of the volonté générale in "The Social Contract" (Du contrat social, 1762).(1) >Social Contract, >Republic, >Republicanism. 1.
