(2012)
Abandoned to ourselves
being an essay on the emergence and implications of sociology in the writings of Mr. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, with special attention to his claims about the moral significance of dependence in the composition and self-transformation of the social bond, & aimed to uncover tensions between those two perspectives: creationism and social evolution, that remain embedded in our common sense & which still impede the human science of politics--
