  Abstract:   On the Relationship between History and the Origins of Humanity in Rousseau’s Political Philosophy. This article is a deconstruction of the attempts to reduce Rousseau’s theory of the socialization of man to a secularized pattern of the Fall of Man. This pattern is a – more or less assumed – consequence of posing as constitutive for Rousseau’s theory of history a polarization between origin (purportedly natural) and history (purportedly social), which would also generate a polarization between right and fact.

Keywords: Origin, history, prehistory, Fall of man, teleology, social contract, contingency
