Although indisputably one of the most important thinkers in the
Western intellectual tradition, Rousseau's actual place within that
tradition, and the legacy of his thought, remains hotly disputed.
Thinking with Rousseau reconsiders his contribution to this
tradition through a series of essays exploring the relationship
between Rousseau and other 'great thinkers'. Ranging from 'Rousseau
and Machiavelli' to 'Rousseau and Schmitt', this volume focuses on
the kind of intricate work that intellectuals do when they read
each other and grapple with one another's ideas. This approach is
very helpful in explaining how old ideas are transformed and/or
transmitted and new ones are generated. Rousseau himself was a
master at appropriating the ideas of others, while simultaneously
subverting them, and as the essays in this volume vividly
demonstrate, the resulting ambivalences and paradoxes in his
thought were creatively mined by others.
