The Law Giver and the Lawgiver

Rousseau says that even though we have now become debased by this social state of affairs, there is some kind of way to transcend it and get back out of it if we form a social contract. Rousseau talks about the law giver as almost a kind of ethereal beyond human figure. And yet he also compares the luggiver to licourgous which is the kind of semi-mythical figure who gives part of the law but then goes away.
