摘要：The influence that the Social Contract had, historically, on the French Revolution is known (DERÁTHE, 2009, 30). However, it is possible to investigate in what practical sense Rousseau would have liked his work to be taken into account. In this sense, the present work seeks to counteract to a reading that intends to take the Social Contract as a model of an effective political achievement. To do so, some canonical texts of Rousseau will be examined: Rousseau: from theory to practice (SALINAS, 1976) and The Social Contract – between the scale and the program (NASCIMENTO, 1988), in order to think of the transitions Rousseau makes in his work between the abstract field of law, duty of being, with the empirical field, of the effective political practice. It is believed that, after analyzing these texts, it will be more safe to establish the link between Rousseau's work and the political practice in the different senses that his work can evoke.
