A comprehensive and authoritative anthology of Rousseau's important
early political writings in faithful English translations. This
volume includes the Discourse on the Sciences and Arts and the
Discourse on the Origin and the Foundations of Inequality among Men
- the so-called First and Second Discourses - together with
Rousseau's extensive Replies to critics of these Discourses; the
Essay on the Origin of Languages; the Letter to Voltaire on
Providence; as well as several minor but illuminating writings -
the Discourse on Heroic Virtue and the essay Idea of the Method in
the Composition of a Book. In these as well as in his later
writings, Rousseau probes the very premises of modern thought. His
influence was wide-reaching from the very first, and it has
continued to grow since his death. The American and the French
Revolutions were profoundly affected by his thought, as were
Romanticism and Idealism. This new edition features up-to-date
translations, an expanded introduction, and an extensive editorial
apparatus designed to assist students at every level access these
seminal texts.
