The Individual Will And The General Will - Deepstash

The Individual Will And The General Will

The shift between being able to follow the individual will and the general will is not so easy to establish.

Finding the general will is based on three approaches.

  • A highly democratic model is where citizenry discusses legislation at town hall meetings. Magistrates would be elected and be duty-bound to execute the legislation as determined by the people.
  • Another model is that a "legislator" (someone who knows what good laws and morals are) can show people the general will by either guiding discussion or helping people identify with the common cause.
  • A third is a hybrid of the two.
