Dependence on Persons and Dependence on Goods
Angebote / Angebote:
Jean-Jacques Rousseau is often associated with a certain political form of relating to another as a person, where a person is seen as a locus of enforceable demands. Nevertheless, as I argue in this dissertation, Rousseau also articulated an affective form of relating to another, where relating to another as a person in this sense involves seeing them as a locus of a kind of value that cannot be demanded. I consider the significance of this affective form for Rousseau's understanding of the passion he calls amour-propre, as well for his understanding of domination and of the connection between the political and affective realms.
