Rousseau and Geneva reconstructs the main aspects of Genevan
socio-economic, political and religious thought in the first half
of the eighteenth century. In this way Dr Rosenblatt effectively
contextualizes the development of Rousseau's thought from the First
Discourse through to the Social Contract. Over time Rousseau has
been adopted as a French thinker, but this adoption obscures his
Genevan origin. Dr Rosenblatt points out that he is, in fact, a
Genevan thinker and illustrates that Rousseau's classical
republicanism, his version of natural law theory, his civil
religion and his hostility to the arguments of doux commerce
theorists are all responses to the political use of such arguments
in Geneva. The author also points out that it was this relationship
with Geneva that played an integral part in his development into an
original political thinker.
