Abstract
Rousseau’s contractualist philosophy implies, due to the very nature of the pact, a constructivist conception of politics. Individuals agree in order to form a collective and also because they believe it will be beneficial to them. Nevertheless, the author demonstrates that this constructivism occurs according to the paradoxical modality loss, rather than its contribution. For the collective to form, it is necessary for individuals to not communicate and ignore one another so that their votes reflect their real interests, rather than interests plagued by the presence of others or simply by the idea of their presence.
