The following pages aim to change the focus of the political discussion in Rousseau, setting it under concepts such as piety, self-preservation, intersubjectivity and recognition instead of others such as freedom, general will, sovereignity, laws and reason. From an internal point of view among Rousseau’s works, this reading should be able to resituate this last group of concepts in a different perspective; from an external point of view, the first group of concepts could allow us to infer new relations with the notions of negativity, critique and intersubjectivity. This approach wants to demonstrate how the paradoxes taken by Rousseau are still central to the theoretical-political discussions of our days.
