56Rousseau on Armour-Propre: T. O'HaganAristotelian Society Supplementary Volume 72 (1): 75-76. 1998.According to familiar accounts, Rousseau held that humans are actuated by two distinct kinds of self love: amour de soi, a benign concern for one's self-preservation and well-being; and amour-propre, a malign concern to stand above other people, delighting in their despite.
