CHAPTER 3

1. Of the “big four” contract theorists (Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jean- Jacques Rousseau,
   Immanuel Kant), Locke and Kant are the most important for liberal theory. Hobbes’s
   Leviathan (New  York:  Cambridge University Press, 1996) conceptualizes morality and
   justice as conventional and argues for political absolutism, while the radical direct democ-
   racy of Rousseau’s Social Contract, based on the “general will,” represents more a challenge
   to than an endorsement of liberalism:  Jean- Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract and
   Other Later Political Writings, ed. and trans. Victor Gourevitch (New  York:  Cambridge
   University Press, 1997).
