Resumo
The article examines the model of liberal democracy developed by J.-J. Rousseau. It is noted that Rousseau, by identifying the state and society and emphasizing equality rather than freedom, actually justifies the totalitarian model of power. Human rights and freedom, which are declared the goal of a social contract, actually dissolve into the common will and national sovereignty. It is argued that Western European individualism, having created a market economy and a Rule of Law, at the same time tends to generate totalitarianism. It is concluded that Rousseau is one of those who stood at the origins of the totalitarian model of power.
