A Discourse Upon The Origin And The Foundation Of The Inequality Among Mankind is a philosophical work by Jean Jacques Rousseau, first published in 1755. The book is a critique of the social and political structures of his time, and explores the concept of natural human inequality. Rousseau argues that inequality is not inherent in human nature, but is instead created by society and its institutions. He traces the origins of inequality to the development of private property and the emergence of social classes. Rousseau also examines the role of language and communication in shaping human society, and discusses the relationship between individual freedom and the common good. The book is considered a key text in the history of political philosophy and has had a significant impact on the development of modern political thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
