. This print showcases the title page of the first edition of Jean Jacques Rousseau's groundbreaking work, "The Social Contract" published in Amsterdam in 1762. As an emblematic piece from the Age of Enlightenment, this book represents a pivotal moment in history when philosophers dared to challenge traditional notions and propose new ideas. Rousseau's "Social Contract" is not merely a philosophical treatise; it is a call to action, urging readers to reconsider their role within society and question existing power structures.
