| Özet: | Within the history of political thought in twentieth-century China, critical literature on The Social Contract has thrived during two periods.

Intellectuals from the last two decades of the century focused on the book’s consequences on political practice and on its intrinsic link to totalitarianism. However, they failed to emphasize that the totalitarian regime of a single party is by definition contrary to the Rousseauist conception of “popular sovereignty” and of a Republic ruled by law. |
