Question

Jean Hampton criticized a form of this concept that only mimics morality out of self-interest, relying on an author’s response to “the Fool” who suggests occasionally violating them. Virginia Held argued that one of these concepts only logically applies to the “economic man.” Carolyn Pateman (15[1])argued that Lockean property rights undermine these concepts, creating a weaker party, in a book titled for a sexual form of them. People should strive to be constrained maximizers to best utilize these concepts according to (*) David Gauthier. Pateman asked whether people would choose to be women in an experiment that relies on this concept from behind the “veil of ignorance.” A book titled for one of these concepts argues a state is valid if it responds to (10[1])a “general will.” For 10 points, Jean-Jacques Rousseau proposed the “social” form of what concept? ■END■
