Abstract

Rousseau’s general will theory has an important significance on today’s political society. However, the establishment of the sovereign guided by the general will has formed the opposition between the general will and the will of all. Whether the general will can “rise” as the will of all and how to get it has become the key to the formation of social contract. This article analyzes Rousseau’s theory and the French revolution, and then predicts China’s future democratic development from the perspective of Rousseau.
