Exploring the essential nature of freedom, this work delves into its role as both a fundamental human right and a prerequisite for personal fulfillment. Rousseau's "The Social Contract" examines how individuals can accept political authority while preserving their freedom, arguing that losing one's freedom equates to losing one's humanity. His thesis emphasizes the inherent impossibility of a life devoid of freedom, suggesting that people would rather choose death than live without it. This philosophical inquiry highlights the profound significance of freedom in human existence.
