This is a new introduction to Rousseau, guiding the student through
the key concepts of his work by examining the overall development
of his ideas. Jean Jacques Rousseau is one of the most important
and influential thinkers of the Enlightenment period and, indeed,
of the whole history of philosophy. His political theory heavily
influenced the French Revolution, development of socialist theory
and the growth of nationalism. Clearly and thematically structured,
covering all Rousseau's key works, "Starting with Rousseau" leads
the reader through a thorough overview of the development of
Rousseau's thought, resulting in a more thorough understanding of
the roots of his philosophical concerns. Offering coverage of the
full range of Rousseau's ideas, the book firmly sets his work in
the context of the Enlightenment and explores his contributions to
social theory, theories of human nature, philosophy of education,
political philosophy and autobiography. Crucially the book
introduces the major thinkers and events that proved influential in
the development of Rousseau's thought. This is the ideal
introduction for anyone coming to the work of this hugely important
thinker for the first time. Continuum's Starting with...series
offers clear, concise and accessible introductions to the key
thinkers in philosophy. The books explore and illuminate the roots
of each philosopher's work and ideas, leading readers to a thorough
understanding of the key influences and philosophical foundations
from which his or her thought developed. Ideal for first-year
students starting out in philosophy, the series will serve as the
ideal companion to study of this fascinating subject.
