General will - Ippanishi

Japanese: 一般意思 - いっぱんいし
General will - Ippanishi
A term used by JJ Rousseau. This term was first used in Diderot's Encyclopedia to distinguish it from the particular will of the individual, to represent the general interest of all mankind, and to establish natural law. In Rousseau's The Social Contract, however, it was defined as the public will of the state as a single personality established by a contract in which each individual surrenders himself completely, and law was considered to be an expression of this general will, which is on a different level from the general will, which is the sum of the particular wills of the individuals. This concept has often been used to deify existing political power, departing from Rousseau's fundamental theoretical structure.

Japanese:
J.J.ルソーの用語。この語はまずディドロの《百科全書》において,個人の特殊意思と区別され全人類の一般利益を代表して自然法を基礎づけるものとされたが,ルソーの《社会契約論》において,各個人が自己を全面譲渡する〈契約〉によって成立する単一の人格としての国家の公的な意思とされ,個人の特殊意思の総和としての全体意思とは次元を異にしたこの一般意思の表現が法であるとされた。この概念がルソーの原理的な理論構成から離れて,既成の政治権力の神化に利用されたこともしばしばある。
