So what about Rousseau.

I've read the Social Contract for a course, fairly interesting, Spinozian in places. An approach to politics rooted in realism that meshes perfectly with theoretical normativism. The Confessions were also well written, profound in psychology and, more importantly, costantly goddamn funny.

Political realism - the approach to political philosophy, which finds one of its masters in Machiavelli, attempting to describe and engage with ghe mechanics of power in one's own language/symbol game.

You're thinking of Hobbes and Locke, but De Tocqueville would agree with you.

I've a lot all of Rousseau and to be honest, Social Contract is my least favorite essay of his. Discourse on Inequality was by far my favorite.
