Resumen
JARAMILLO MARIN, Jefferson. Meaning and impact of the notion of social contract in Rousseau and Kant: Scope and limitations in the democratic theory. Civilizar [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.23, pp.111-124. ISSN 1657-8953.
This article reviews some of the similarities and differences about the political and legal foundation given to the notion of social contract by two modern thinkers: Jean Jacques Rousseau and Immanuel Kant. In the text, it is pointed out the revolutionary part of the notion, by showing its principal meanings and impacts. A reflection is also offered on the scope and difficulties of the contractual proposal within the contemporary democratic theory.
