The question of evil in Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Description
This is a radical reflection on the ontological destiny of evil in the locomotion of political thought, based on the archaeology of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's thought. The Citizen of Geneva makes it clear that evil is not inscribed in the civilization of our nature, but rather stems from man's social decline through the sacredness of modernity. Thus, faced with the apotheosis of despair resulting from the dizzying spiral of evil in society, Rousseau formulates the alternative of the social contract and advocates the emergence of a legitimate city, placed under the sign of the absolute sovereignty of the people-king. However, he ends up with a democratic past to which we submit the magic remedy of Aristo-democracy. Consequently, the future of democracy lies in the democracy of the future, that which consecrates the primacy of meaning and the pre-eminence of the moral law around the paradigmatic concept of Aristo-democracy.
