Revolution, French Revolution, Revolutionary, Rousseau.Abstract
The purpose of this article is to make an introductory reflection on the issue of the revolution in Rousseau's writings. The theme of the revolution became important subject for the scholars of Rousseau's thought, especially after the French revolutionaries affirmed that they were inspired by the Philosopher's ideas in their actions, taking their work of the social contract as if it were an invitation to the creation of a new political and social order. In this sense the reflection that is proposed in this article seeks to clarify, even if it is in an introductory way, Rousseau's real stance on the issue of the revolution.
