Jean-Jacques Rousseau is one of the most controversial philosophers
of the eighteenth century, and his groundbreaking work still
provokes heated debate in contemporary political theory. In this
book, Celine Spector, one of the world's foremost experts on
Rousseau's thought, provides an accessible introduction to his
moral, social and political theory. She explores the themes and
central concepts of his thought, ranging from the state of nature,
the social contract and the general will to natural and political
freedom, religion and education. She combines a skilful exposition
of Rousseau as a 'man of paradoxes' with a discussion of his
often-overlooked ideas on knowledge, political economy and
international relations. The book traces both the overall unity and
the significant changes in Rousseau's philosophy, accounting for
its complexity and for the importance of its legacy. It will be
essential reading for scholars, students and general readers
interested in the Enlightenment and more broadly in the history of
modern political thought and philosophy.
