Bob et al.
Maybe to help clarify for people a bit about Rousseau..is that he didn’t believe in natural laws of “good” or “bad”. Your worry about things being “unfit” is him saying that they are not conducive to the betterment of the whole, as he thought along Marxist equality lines in this way. Hence, the Social Contract is a way of letting all citizens (or poster’s, in this case) religious views be heard. (And at the time...various political philosophies.) (i.e. so one can’t tell the other it is superior He was like Marx in that he believed in a strong sense of equality.. ie. rich vs. poor) He believed strongly that things should be done for a man-made “general good will” (i.e. good/bad are not ‘natural’, inborn states.) That is what the Social Contract is for. Does this make sense?
