Jean-Jacques Rousseau is often associated with a certain political form of relating to another as a person, where a person is seen as a locus of enforceable demands.

I consider the significance of this affective form for Rousseau's understanding of the passion he calls amour-propre, as well for his understanding of domination and of the connection between the political and affective realms.
