Summary This book, first published in 1991, has two related goals. The first is to explicate Rousseau's conception of subjectivity; the second is to trace the influence of that conception on his theory of freedom. It argues that Rousseau's conception of subjectivity provides us with a basis for understanding both his analysis of the 'social problem' of advanced civil societies, and the solutions he proposes to this problem
