Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s concept of the “General will” (Volonte Génèrale) remains the locus of heated interpretative debates in political philosophy to this day. Specifically, scholars have puzzled over the passage in the The Social Contract where Rousseau states that the individual is wrong about his interests when his conception of interests diverges from the General will. This passage raises the following interpretative questions: in what way(s) may the individual fail to recognize his own interests? And how are the interests that one may fail to recognize related to one’s interests in upholding the General will? I address these questions by proposing an interpretation of the General will that is both faithful to the basic tenets of methodological individualism, and to Rousseau’s claim that the General will is not reducible to the mere sum of individuals’ interests.
