Marx and Rousseau: The Social Contract and Beginning of Revolutionary Theory

The beginnings of a truly revolutionary theory started coming to fruition from the late chasms of the enlightenment, and discourse over late political theory and the social contract. Understanding the beginnings gives us insight on some of the shortcomings of idealism, and the differences between contemporary revolutionary theory starkly set in materialism. Examining Rousseau's The Social Contract gives further insights into the movement of Marxism and the liberal revolutions set during his time.
