"In the sensation the judgment is purely passive; it affirms that I feel what I feel.

That is the whole difference; but it is a great difference." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau
(1712 – 1778), Franco-Swiss philosopher of the Enlightenment whose political ideas influenced the French Revolution, the development of socialist theory, and the growth of nationalism. As quoted in his book, ‘Emile: Or, On Education’, (1762).

"The right of conquest has no foundation other than the right of the strongest [and might is not necessarily right, even when it is the 'might' from the most numerous vote in a democracy. For example a majority could vote to enslave the minority and steal and redistribute their wealth, but that would not make it right or moral. This is a serious problem with Jeremy Bentham's philosophy of Utilitarianism and its Utilitarian ethics - i.e. 'the greatest good for the greatest number', which to be moral must be tempered with unalienable human rights that not even a majority can deny to even one human]!" - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

"[There is always a danger to the middle classes and the wealthy when people in a society are so poor that they are hungry, especially if their numbers are large and the fact and visibility of the wealth discrepancy is obvious and frequent. Society’s law and order is then likely to break down and people desperate to survive, as well as those just envious or greedy, will disregard others’ needs and rights and society’s laws and use force to obtain the necessities, among other things, that they need, in order to survive, or prosper. At these times it is useful to remember that...] When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich. [This is the dystopian worst case scenario of the mutual benefit that living in societies under a social contract promises. To avoid that, amongst other objectives, social, economic and political philosophies and structures have evolved over history and geography ranging: from strong central government power and freedom through communal property rights, for example communism, to strong individual power and freedom from strict private property rights, for example laissez faire (free market) capitalism; from government tax and redistribution policies to opportunities for education, business set-up capital and free-markets that promote voluntary exchange in order to meet each other’s needs and desires.] [This quote about eating the rich contrasts with another famous quote of Rousseau’s about eating that has been used by the poor and hungry, and those purporting to represent their interests, to express their belief about the way the wealthy regard the poor and hungry’s plight, fairly or unfairly: ‘I remembered the way out suggested by a great princess when told that the peasants had no bread: ‘Well, let them eat cake’. It has also been translated in a longer form as ‘At length I recollected the thoughtless saying of a great princess, who, on being informed that the country people had no bread, replied, ‘Then let them eat cake!’ In the original French - ‘Qu'ils mangent de la brioche’. This statement has usually come to be attributed to Marie Antoinette, but it was written in 1766, when Marie Antoinette was 10 and still 4 years away from her marriage to Louis XVI of France, and is an account of events of 1740, before she was born. It also implies the phrase had been long known before that time. As quoted in his book, ‘Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’ (1770, published 1782).]" - Jean-Jacques Rousseau
(1712 – 1778), Franco-Swiss philosopher of the Enlightenment whose political ideas influenced the French Revolution, the development of socialist theory, and the growth of nationalism. Attributed to Rousseau as being from a ‘Speech at the commune on the 14th of October’ in ‘The History of the French Revolution’ by M. A. Thiers. Translated, with notes and illustrations from the most authentic sources, by Frederick Shoberl., Thiers, Adolphe, 1797-1877., page 359.

"I love liberty, and I loathe constraint, dependence, and all their kindred annoyances. As long as my purse contains money it secures my independence, and exempts me from the trouble of seeking other money, a trouble of which I have always had a perfect horror; and the dread of seeing the end of my independence, makes me proportionately unwilling to part with my money. The money that we possess is the instrument of liberty, that which we lack and strive to obtain is the instrument of slavery." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau
(1712 – 1778), Franco-Swiss philosopher of the Enlightenment whose political ideas influenced the French Revolution, the development of socialist theory, and the growth of nationalism. As quoted in his book, ‘Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’ (1770, published 1782).

| [Quote No.42818] Need Area: Property > General
"The first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground [previously un-owned and ‘homesteaded’ it by mixing his life, effort, time and creativity in transforming it], bethought himself of saying ‘This is mine [now]’, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars, and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes [from the conflicts about authority over and decisions on the care and use of it] might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows: ‘Beware of listening to this imposter; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody’. [This early expression of communal property rights (often abbreviated to ‘You forget that the fruits belong to all and that the land belongs to no one’ and later echoed as the ‘Property is theft!’ slogan, in its original French, ‘La propriété, c'est le vol!’, coined by the French socialist-anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon in his 1840 book, ‘What is Property?’) is a noble sentiment and practical in small, simple societies and their economies – often with family ties and accompanying sympathies. But non-discretionary, legal ‘private property rights’, equally, clearly delineated, adjudicated and enforced by some strong authority, in the form of the state in most constitutional free market capitalist states, that recognizes the infusing of any person’s life, regardless of class, education, race, sex, etc., with a previously un-owned resource as ‘ownership’, has been found to reduce the conflict, especially dangerous physical violence – including crime, wars and murder, about authority over and increase the ease of decisions on the care and use of scarce resources and thereby the honest, peaceful, freedom of individuals, especially in large, complex, non-familial societies and their economies.]" - Jean-Jacques Rousseau
(1712 – 1778), Franco-Swiss philosopher of the Enlightenment whose political ideas influenced the French Revolution, the development of socialist theory, and the growth of nationalism. As quoted in his book, ‘Discourse on Inequality’ - also known as ‘Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among Men’ and ‘A Dissertation On the Origin and Foundation of the Inequality of Mankind’, (1754) [This translation by G. D. H. Cole]

"There is one book which, to my thinking, supplies the best treatise on an education according to nature. This is the first book Emile will read; for a long time it will form his whole library, and it will always retain an honoured place. It will be the text to which all our talks about natural science are but the commentary. It will serve to test our progress towards a right judgment, and it will always be read with delight, so long as our taste is unspoilt. What is this wonderful book? Is it Aristotle? Pliny? Buffon? No — it is [Daniel Defoe's novel] ‘Robinson Crusoe’ [ - a 'hero's journey' monomyth, as the great comparative mythologist, Joseph Campbell, would say.] " - Jean-Jacques Rousseau
(1712 – 1778), Franco-Swiss philosopher of the Enlightenment whose political ideas influenced the French Revolution, the development of socialist theory, and the growth of nationalism. As quoted in his book, ‘Emile: Or, On Education’, (1762).

"[Never forget that example is the greatest teacher and hypocrisy one of the most despised behaviors:] We cannot teach children the danger of telling lies [fraud] to men without realising, on the man's part, the danger of telling lies [fraud] to children. A single untruth [fraud] on the part of the master will destroy the results of his education." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau
(1712 – 1778), Franco-Swiss philosopher of the Enlightenment whose political ideas influenced the French Revolution, the development of socialist theory, and the growth of nationalism. As quoted in his book, ‘Emile: Or, On Education’, (1762).
