In their controversies, C.-A. Helvétius and J. -J. Rousseau have pointed out two different, and generally opposite, ways to consider ethics - and politics. This paper, stressing the subject of interests and morals sentiments, aims at examining these controversies, first with a brief exposition of Rousseau's criticism to the reduction, made by Helvétius, of mental faculties to physical sensibility, and, afterwards, with Helvétius' criticism to the explanation of moral conscience in Émile, An inquiring into this polemic may be useful to bring light upon one al tha most fundamental problems of Rousseau's theory of contract, concerning lhe nature ol potitical obligation and moral duty.
