Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Hobbes, working in the crucible of the English civil war, provides a compelling critique of what he calls Vain Glory in politics. He seeks to extirpate the roots of political pride, to minimize its appearance in political life. Rousseau, on the other hand, does not simply condemn the prospect of political pride. His thinking on this question can be recaptured by considering his discussions of healthy and unhealthy amour-propre. Rousseau teaches that amour-propre can be sublimated and channeled to good effect in both the education of individuals and in a political community. Rousseau thinks a channeling of amour-propre into communal pride in the city is not only possible but desirable. Instead of a sovereign who staunches pride with fear; Rousseau actually incorporates amour -propre into the psyche of a collective sovereign. Whereas Hobbes constructs a Leviathan to terrify and intimidate the children of pride, Rousseau seeks to form the devoted citizens of a direct democracy whose collective pride will rule their more selfish and mercenary desires.
