Abstract
This article tries to highlight the contradictions, successes, aporias and ways of being of political life in Rousseau’s Social contract, in the framework of the interpretation of the taking of power in a revolution. Special attention is given to the concepts of “general will”, “freedom” and “equality”. It is also intended to reflect on the meaning of those concepts associated with the possibility of revolution and how they could be implemented in such a context, taking into account the means for its realization (especially terror).
