Amour de soi (lit. "love of self") is a concept in the philosophy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau that refers to the kind of self-love that humans share with brute animals and predates the appearance of society. Rousseau contrasts it with amour-propre, which also means self-love, but in which one's opinion of oneself is dependent on what other people think and which arises only with society.
