The authors focus on Rousseau's genuine yet undervalued stature as a philosopher. This collection includes essays that develop some of the complex problems Rousseau treated so radically and profoundly, as well as essays on the vigorous debates he engaged in with thoughtful contemporaries and predecessors.

Compromise
This book offers for the first time a conceptual history of compromise.

Tyranny
This is the first comprehensive exploration of ancient and modern tyranny in the history of political thought. By diagnosing the varieties of tyranny from the steely determination of reforming conquerors like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar and modernizing despots such as Napoleon and Ataturk to the collectivist revolutions of the Jacobins, Bolsheviks, Nazis, and Khmer Rouge, Waller R. Newell shows how tyranny is every bit as dangerous to free democratic societies today as it was in the past.
