Jean-Jacques Rousseau has been cast as a champion of Enlightenment
and a beacon of Romanticism, a father figure of radical
revolutionaries and totalitarian dictators alike, an inventor of
the modern notion of the self, and an advocate of stern ancient
republicanism. Engaging with Rousseau treats his writings as an
enduring topic of debate, examining the diverse responses they have
attracted from the Enlightenment to the present. Such notions as
the general will were, for example, refracted through very
different prisms during the struggle for independence in Latin
America and in social conflicts in Eastern Europe, or modified by
thinkers from Kant to contemporary political theorists. Beyond
Rousseau's ideas, his public image too travelled around the world.
This book examines engagement with Rousseau's works as well as with
his self-fashioning; especially in turbulent times, his defiant
public identity and his call for regeneration were admired or
despised by intellectuals and political agents.
