The book delves into the socio-economic, political, and religious landscape of 18th-century Geneva, shedding light on how these elements influenced Rousseau's intellectual evolution from the First Discourse to the Social Contract. By emphasizing Rousseau's Genevan roots, the author reveals how his classical republicanism, natural law theory, and civil religion emerged as reactions to Geneva's political climate, challenging the notion of Rousseau solely as a French thinker and highlighting his unique contributions to political thought.
