Notes
* Of the works used in this paper, as far as I know, only the text of the Discourses exists in an English translation by G. D. H. Cole. This translation has been used, with occasional, but not systematic reference to the on als. All the other material quoted in the text has been transfated by me. In o r g to save space I have not added the French or German passages. Footnotes appear at the end of each Part of the paper.
