Rousseau's law giver - criticisms
  • Struggles
    2
    Hi guys,

    Im writing an essay on the function of Rousseau's lawgiver, part of the answer needs to deal with potential apprehension towards the role of a lawgiver. Does anybody have any philosophers/thoughts who would be apprehensive towards Rousseau's concept of a lawgiver?

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

    My favourite reading of the lawgiver is Bonnie Honig's in Democracy and the Foreigner, the first chapter. Alternatively, check out William Connolly's reading in his The Ethos of Pluralization (chapter 5, "Democracy and Territoriality"). Serdar Tekin's Founding Acts also looks like it might be relevant, but I've not read it. Hopefully your library stocks these ones :)
