……一直以来我最喜欢的政治哲学著作之一。我真希望有更多人（不只是哲学家或政治学者）花时间读读它。另外也可以考虑看看霍布斯的《Leviathan》[1] 和卢梭的《On the Social Contract》[2]。[1] https://www.gutenberg.org/files/3207/3207-h/3207-h.htm [2] https://www.gutenberg.org/files/46333/46333-h/46333-h.htm
…all-time favorite pieces of political philosophy. I wish more people (not just philosophers or political scientists) took the time to read it. Also consider checking out Hobbes' Leviathan[1] and Rousseau's On the Social Contract[2].

…a believer in innate ideas but rather that they come from experience (like George Berkeley's Tree in the quad arguments). He's the principle founder of philosophical induction and much more. 15. The Social Contract—Jean-Jacques Rousseau This is a great work (and fun to read). The most famous opening sentence of any philosophical work likely ever written, ancient or modern, is at the very beginning of Chapter 1:…
…obligations citizens have towards their government, and so on. Classic works include Plato's Republic, Hobbes' Leviathan, Locke's Two Treatises, J.S. Mill's On Liberty and Utilitarianism and Rousseau's Social Contract. Sometimes students skip this one but it's essential to know how our governance came about and the meaning of the Social Contract that exists between the Citizenry and Government. There's much more,…
…workload would be like 5 minutes on a Thursday morning every other month. Could you spare that? Please read a book called "Leviathan" [1] by Thomas Hobbes and maybe a little of Jean Jacques Rousseau's "The Social Contract" [2] to balance it up. The state is not your enemy, but also it is not your nanny, there to wipe your bottom and hold your feeding bottle because you "pay taxes". There's plenty of time for dining out…
There are a lot of books you should read about this stuff; it'll make you more educated on it than any reply here can. I'd start with Rousseau's 'The Social Contract,' Locke's second treatise on government, Hobbes' 'Leviathan', John Stuart Mill's 'On Utilitarianism,' Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, and Hume's Political Discourses.
值得余生每天都翻一翻的书：爱比克泰德的《论说集》 值得读上 10 遍的书：卢梭的《社会契约论》、柏拉图的《理想国》、苏格拉底的《申辩篇》、《As a Man Think》、亚当·斯密的《国富论》（如果你能硬啃下来的话） 值得读上 3 遍的书：卢克莱修的《物性论》……
Book worth opening everyday for the rest of one's life: Discourses (Epictetus) Books worth reading 10 times: Social Contract (Rousseau), Republic (of Plato), Apology (Socrates), As a Man Think, Inquiry into the Wealth of Nation (if you can muster the energy) Books worth reading 3 times: Lucretius (on the nature of things)…

…他不相信天赋观念，而是认为观念来自经验（就像乔治·贝克莱关于中庭之树的论证一样）。他是哲学归纳法的主要开创者，贡献远不止于此。15. 让-雅克·卢梭的《社会契约论》这是一部伟大的著作（而且读起来很有趣）。无论古今，所有哲学著作中最著名的开篇第一句，大概就是出自第一章的最开头：…

…公民对政府应尽的义务，诸如此类。经典著作包括柏拉图的《理想国》、霍布斯的《利维坦》、洛克的《政府论两篇》、J.S. 密尔的《论自由》和《功利主义》，以及卢梭的《社会契约论》。有时候学生会跳过这一本，但要了解我们的治理模式是如何形成的，以及公民与政府之间存在的“社会契约”的内涵，这本书是必不可少的。还有很多……

…工作量大概就是隔一个月在某个周四早上花个 5 分钟。你能抽出这点时间吗？请读一读托马斯·霍布斯写的《利维坦》[1]，或许再读一点让-雅克·卢梭的《社会契约论》[2]来对冲平衡一下。国家不是你的敌人，但也不是你的保姆，不会因为你“交了税”就负责给你擦屁股、喂奶瓶。有大把的时间去下馆子……

关于这些内容有很多书值得一读；读了这些，你懂得肯定比这里任何一条回复教给你的都多。我建议先从卢梭的《社会契约论》、洛克的《政府论》（下篇）、霍布斯的《利维坦》、约翰·斯图尔特·密尔的《功利主义》、康德的《纯粹理性批判》以及休谟的《政治论丛》开始。
