ABSTRACT
In line with the purpose of the book, the main goal of this part is to indicate that the hypothesis put forward in the introduction has been tested and verified with respect to the arguments expressed in each chapter. Both the methodological and theoretical consequences of modern period contractarian theories are also summarised in this section. More significantly, one of the crucial points discussed in the conclusion is that Hobbes’s, Locke’s, Rousseau’s, and Rawls’s theories on the relationship between private property, freedom, and order seek to provide theoretical and methodological grounds for the creation and continuation of the capitalist exploitative order in which social inequalities and dependence are justified under the mask of formal equality and formal freedom.
