While some thinkers have already announced the decline of the idea of the social contract, the author believes it is definitely too early to relegate the idea to the dustbin of history. She therefore returns to the idea of the social contract and tries to read it anew, using the modern idea of corporate social responsibility. In her juxtaposition of the two ideas, the author points out many similarities but also significant differences between them. She eventually reaches the conclusion that the idea of corporate social responsibility is complementary to the previously accepted contract, a new approach that allows us to improve on the historical version’s lack of cohesion to accommodate our ever more rapidly changing world.
