The general will is not the will of the majority. Rather, it is the will of the political organism that he sees as an entity with a life of its own. The general will is an additional will, somehow distinct from and other than any individual will or group of individual wills. The general will is, by some means, endowed with goodness and wisdom surpassing the beneficence and wisdom of any person or collection of persons. Society is coordinated and… [cont.]

Rousseau wrote several important books. Two of them were (the ones I read): The Social Contract and A Discourse on Inequality. The Social Contract, however, was his most important book.

A. He was the founding father of democratic nationalism. He saw the people as the true foundations of a nation (and not the aristocracy). He was the one calling for liberte, egalite, fraternite (freedom, equality and brotherhood). Basically he dreamt of an open society, in which people were happy to participate in and fight for, and in which all people that wanted to, could join (this is called subjective nationalism).

A. It's been a long time since I studied Rousseau but this is common sense. Human beings by means of their instinct for socialization, have a psychological need to belong. Whether it's belonging to their families, work environment, community, country or social network. They also have a psychological need to feel adequate in relation to, and even superior to others. They do this by means of comparison. They also have a psychological need to be valued for who they are and what they have to offer. They need validation from their environment and so they seek it by comparing themselves to others seeig where they need to conform, improve, assimilate.

A. I've only recently been introduced to Rousseau. His idea that we be enslaved voluntarily to one group so as to not be enslaved by another is repugnant. Of course I am over emphasizing but, his ideas are contrary to the American founders' idea of sovereign individuals from whom all governmental power is derived. I believe America, in it's current state, has taken on Rousseau's model and rejected that of Jefferson and Franklin, et.al. It is our failing and has been detrimental to personal freedom and ideas of personal property. It has also become detrimental to our centrally controlled economy.

The central problem he confronted most of his life he sums up in the first sentence of his most famous work, The Social Contract : So, as you can see he was the Enlightenment.
