Description

This comprehensive introduction to Rousseau's philosophy, written by Nicholas Dent, examines the full scope of his influential thought and lasting impact on Western philosophy. The book begins with an accessible overview of Rousseau's life and key works before diving into his central ideas, including the corruption of modern civilisation, the state of nature, and his pioneering theories of amour de soi and amour propre. Dent explores Rousseau's revolutionary approach to education and his masterwork Emile, offering readers insight into one of history's most transformative thinkers. The text places particular emphasis on Rousseau's theories of democracy and freedom as presented in The Social Contract, carefully explaining what Rousseau meant by the 'general will' and its philosophical significance. Ideal for students and scholars seeking to understand Rousseau's contributions to political philosophy, ethics, and social theory.
