Rousseau : A Very Short Introduction
Wokler, Robert
Rousseau : A Very Short Introduction - Oxford Oxford University Press 2001 - 171 - Very Short Introductions .
Rousseau: A Very Short Introduction examines the role of Jean-Jacques Rousseau in the European Enlightenment, and his critique of the political, economic, theological, and sexual trappings of civilization. His philosophy of history, his theories of music and politics, his fiction, educational and religious writings, and even his botany, were all inspired by visionary ideals of mankind's self-realization in a condition of unfettered freedom. This VSI explains how, in embracing classical republicanism, ancient mythology, direct communion with God, the wildness of nature and solitude, Rousseau anticipated some post-modernist rejections of the Enlightenment.
