QUELQUES OBSERVATIONS SUR LA RELATION ENTRE L’ORIGINE ET L’HISTOIRE DANS LA PENSÉE POLITIQUE DE J.-J. ROUSSEAU
ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HISTORY AND THE ORIGINS OF HUMANITY IN ROUSSEAU’S POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY

Summary/Abstract: On the Relationship between History and the Origins of Humanity in Rousseau’s Political Philosophy. This article is a deconstruction of the attempts to reduce Rousseau’s theory of the socialization of man to a secularized pattern of the Fall of Man. This pattern is a – more or less assumed – consequence of posing as constitutive for Rousseau’s theory of history a polarization between origin (purportedly natural) and history (purportedly social), which would also generate a polarization between right and fact.
