"Rousseau and the Virtue of Identity" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, Boston Marriott Copley Place, Sheraton Boston & Hynes Convention Center, Boston, Massachusetts, Aug 28, 2002 <Not Available>. 2009-12-02 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p66328_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript

Abstract: In this paper, I explore three related aspects of Rousseau's theory of identity. After discussing the problem of identity as Rousseau articulates it and how the very difficulties of self-knowledge point to the nature of the human self, I analyze his theory of the development of individual identity and self-consciousness. Then I examine his argument that morality or virtue is grounded in psychological development. Finally, I turn to his discussion of political identity, and his understanding of how shaping citizens with a strong political identity and civic morality solves the problems of political legitimacy and human happiness. |

Abstract: This essay analyzes Rousseau’s writings on Geneva, Corsica, and Poland. I show that Rousseau’s advocacy of economic and cultural autarky in these “semi-peripheries” derives from his critique of Stoic cosmopolitanism, but that the side-effect of Rousseauvian autarky is xenophobia. |

"Rousseau's Rome and the Repudiation of Populist Republicanism" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, Marriott Wardman Park, Omni Shoreham, Washington Hilton, Washington, DC, Sep 01, 2005 <Not Available>. 2009-12-02 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p39835_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript

Abstract: The chapters of Rousseau’s Social Contract devoted to republican Rome prescribe institutions that obstruct popular efforts at diminishing the excessive power and influence of wealthy citizens and political magistrates. I argue that Rousseau reconstructs ancient Rome’s constitution in direct opposition to the more populist and anti-elitist model of the Roman Republic championed by Machiavelli in the Discourses: Rousseau eschews the establishment of magistracies, like the tribunes, reserved for common citizens exclusively, and endorses assemblies where the wealthy are empowered to outvote the poor in lawmaking and elections. On the basis of sociologically anonymous principles like generality and popular sovereignty, and by confining elite accountability to general elections, Rousseau’s neo-Roman institutional proposals aim to pacify the contestation of class hierarchies and inflate elite prerogative within republics—under the cover of more formal, seemingly more genuine, equality. |
