Über den Autor

Jean Jacques Rousseau was a Swiss philosopher and political theorist who lived much of his life in France. Many reference books describe him as French, but he generally added "Citizen of Geneva" whenever he signed his name. He presented his theory of education in Emile (1762), a novel, the first mehr anzeigen book to link the educational process to a scientific understanding of children; Rousseau is thus regarded as the precursor, if not the founder, of child psychology. "The greatest good is not authority, but liberty," he wrote, and in The Social Contract (1762) Rousseau moved from a study of the individual to an analysis of the relationship of the individual to the state: "The art of politics consists of making each citizen extremely dependent upon the polis in order to free him from dependence upon other citizens." This doctrine of sovereignty, the absolute supremacy of the state over its members, has led many to accuse Rousseau of opening the doors to despotism, collectivism, and totalitarianism. Others say that this is the opposite of Rousseau's intent, that the surrender of rights is only apparent, and that in the end individuals retain the rights that they appear to have given up. In effect, these Rousseau supporters say, the social contract is designed to secure or to restore to individuals in the state of civilization the equivalent of the rights they enjoyed in the state of nature. Rousseau was a passionate man who lived in passionate times, and he still stirs passion in those who write about him today. (Bowker Author Biography) weniger anzeigen

Kurzbiographie
Rousseau was one of the great thinkers and influences on the Age of Enlightenment. But his work was not appreciated by the French authorities in his lifetime. After completing his Confessions in 1770, he began giving private readings of the book. But he was forced to stop this, and the work was only partially published in 1782, four years after his death. All his subsequent writings also appeared posthumously.

"Rousseau, "om al paradoxurilor" - acceptand aceasta eticheta printre atat de numeroasele care i-au fost atribuite de contemporani, scriitorul si-a schitat singur modull de a traversa posteritatea: intr-o armonioasa conformitate nu atat cu natura sa, cat cu ceea ce i-a conferit ca destinatie acestei naturi, anume cautarea adevarului, "Vitam impendere vero", cum isi parafrazeaza al insusi opera" - IRINA BADESCU

The problem with reading Rousseau’s ‘Discourse on Inequality’ more than 250 years after its composition is that the content alternately seems obvious, because it had such influence on subsequent work, and archaic, because so much has been superceded. On balance it was still worth reading, although I wouldn’t have bothered if my mum hadn’t given me a copy. The overall argument about human nature inevitably seems dated and repeated references to 'savages' grate. Rousseau’s views on women also really get on my nerves: ‘Happy are we so long as your chaste power, exerted solely within the marriage bond, makes itself felt only for the glory of the state and the wellbeing of the public!’ Do shut up. I was pleased to find in the footnotes that Voltaire disagreed with Rousseau’s misogyny and took the view that, ‘Women are capable of doing everything we do: the only difference between them and us is that they are nicer’. Nevertheless, Rousseau does make some points in this discourse that still appear powerful and well-articulated today. His arguments about the development of language are notably well-put and it is not hard to see why they were influential at the time. It is likewise fascinating how easily he sets aside god and religion from the start, obviously a radical stance at a time when people were still being burnt for heresy.

I think this point still merits repetition, given the current trend of claiming to have discovered timeless and immutable truths about human nature from behavioural economics experiments:

For it is no light enterprise to separate that which is original from that which is artificial in man’s present nature, and attain a solid knowledge of a state which no longer exists, which perhaps never existed, and which will probably never exist, yet of which it is necessary to have sound ideas if we are to judge our present state satisfactorily. Indeed it would require more philosophy than people realise in anyone who undertook to determine exactly what precautions must be taken to ensure reliable observation in this field...


I also appreciated the critique of explorers’ accounts of so-called savages, which he finds unscientific (to use an anachronism) and likely inaccurate. Rousseau's feelings on environmental destruction also appear prescient. Perhaps most memorable to me, though, was this rhetorical question: ‘What is one to think of a system in which the reason of each private person dictates to him maxims contrary to the maxims which the public reason preaches to the body of society, a system in which each finds his profit in the misfortunes of others?’ It could probably be translated more tidily than that, but remains powerful. What indeed are we to think when compassion and co-operation are celebrated as individual virtues, but totally inimical to the wider economic system?

‘A Discourse on Inequality’ is only 114 pages long, including Rousseau’s introduction and notes, yet the introduction by Maurice Cranston runs to 44 pages. This is frankly excessive and I don’t think Rousseau’s entire biography, in addition to commentary on the discourse, was necessary for context. I read the introduction last as ever and did not find it terribly enlightening. The editor’s notes were very good, however, especially the grumpy interjections from Voltaire.
