Umowa społeczna jako przejaw racjonalizmu w refleksji nad państwem i prawem
The Social Agreement as the Manifestation of Rationalism in the Reflection of State and the Law

Summary/Abstract: The article makes an attempt to analyze the concept of the social agreement as a particular form rationalizing the foundation of social life. The author believes that the social agreement is a plane to realize the idea of freedom including political freedom. A retrospective view of the idea of freedom and the idea of equality are closely correlated which shows their radical character. If particular individuals make an agreement it means they are equal, and if they limit their natural freedom to the same extent towards the powers that be it means the amount of freedom was the same.
