- More about Private Property, Freedom, and Order: Social Contract Theories from Hobbes To Rawls
This book explores how modern social contract theories (SCTs) express ideas of freedom, property, and order, legitimizing and defending private ownership of the means of production. It argues that capitalism's impact on individual dependence and economic inequality stems from this model, benefiting proprietors. The author highlights the problematic nature of SCTs, presenting a de-ideologization of the contractarian issue and exploring the political layers within the discourse of individualism, human nature, and morality shaping contractarian theory.

This book delves into the intricate relationship between the concepts of freedom, property, and order in modern social contract theories (SCTs). By drawing upon the profound insights of Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, and Rawls, it explores how these theories articulate and defend the private ownership of the means of production. It argues that the influence of capitalism on individual dependence and economic inequality persists, ultimately benefiting proprietors.
The author emphasizes the problematic nature of SCTs, recognizing them as ideological frameworks that purport to promote formal equality and freedom while obscuring the historical and social contexts that shape them. Through a de-ideologization approach, the author sheds light on the political dimensions within the discourse of individualism, human nature, and morality that shape the outer boundaries of contractarian theory.
This volume constitutes a significant contribution to the study of SCTs, appealing to scholars and researchers engaged in the fields of political and social theory, sociology, political history, and political philosophy. It offers valuable insights and perspectives that will enrich our understanding of these important theoretical frameworks.
