One of the best articles I had ever seen on Steemit! That "social contract" does not explain at all the origin of the current State of Law, but what good is it to justify the interests of the State and the "market"! The philosophy of the Enlightenment is undoubtedly one of the human knowledge's greatest achievements; however, because of its republican nature, it needs some unfortunate inconsistencies like this for keep standing. You are right, before talking about an inexistente "social contract", Roseau should have wondered who, when and where agreed it. Our currently rights and duties are the products of our long economic, social and cultural history, not just of a "social contract (!)".
I love your posts. I'm following you now, and you got my upvote and resteem :D
RE: Isn't the "social contract" a little bit overdue? And who agreed to it in the first place?
