About “Discours sur l'origine et les fondements de l'inégalité parmi les hommes”
In his Discourses (1755), Rousseau argues that inequalities of rank, wealth, and power are the inevitable result of the civilising process. He examines how progress has undermined human psychological independence and explores the costs of societal development, seeking alternatives to the corruption and oppressive conformity of modern society.
