In 1758, Rousseau announced that he had adopted "vitam impendere
vero" (dedicate life to truth) as a personal pledge. Despite the
dramatic nature of this declaration, no scholar has yet approached
Rousseau's work through the lens of truth or truthseeking. What did
it mean for Rousseau to lead a life dedicated to truth? This book
presents Rousseau's normative account of truthseeking, his account
of what human beings must do if they hope to discover the truths
essential to human happiness. Rousseau's writings constitute a
practical guide to these truths; they describe how he arrived at
them and how others might as well. In reading Rousseau through the
lens of truth, Neidleman traverses the entirety of Rousseau's
corpus, and, in the process, reveals a series of symmetries among
the disparate themes treated in those texts. The first section of
the book lays out Rousseau's general philosophy of truth and
truthseeking. The second section follows Rousseau down four
distinct pathways to truth: reverie, republicanism, religion, and
reason. With a strong grounding in both the Anglophone and
Francophone scholarship on Rousseau, this book will appeal to
scholars across a broad range of disciplines.
