Reviews for Routledge Philosophy GuideBook to Rousseau and the Social Contract
'Bertram gives us an insightful account of Rousseau’s character, an exemplary and charitable commentary on the Social Contract, and a brief but lucid account of his influence on later thinkers... a book which we should read and for which we should give thanks.' - Tony Lynch, Australian Journal of Political Science
