Abstract

This work analyses in Rousseau’s second Discourse the fact that the public opinion and the others’ sight are elements that set the beginning of man’s degradation and alienation processes in what constitutes the first experience of sociability they go through; in the state of nature, man remained limited to himself, maintaining the balance between his desires and their satisfaction, enjoying a state of true happiness, whilst in social activities he gets out of himself to be dependent on the sight of the other, submitted to the empire of public judgment
