About the Book
This distinctive collection of essays explores the relationship between
the growth and development of civilization and the forms of social and
political oppression that civilization permits and encourages as well
as the forms of oppression that civilized societies unmask and seek to
relieve. It offers fresh insights into the thought of political philosophers,
including Locke, Montesquieu, Marx, Kant, Mill, and Rawls as well as the
postmodernist response of Foucault and his successors to the fact of the
domination of human by human.
"As long as men were content with their rustic hutsIas long as they applied themselves only to tasks that a single person could do and to tasks that did not require the cooperation of several hands, they lived free, healthy, good and happy insofar as this could be according to their nature." -- Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Discourse Concerning the Origins of Inequality
