Newly translated by Peter Constantine
Edited and with an Introduction by Leo Damrosch
"The Essential Writings of Rousseau" collects the best and most
indispensable work of one of the world's most influential writers.
A towering figure of Enlightenment thought, Jean-Jacques Rousseau
was also one of that movement's most passionate and persuasive
critics. His extraordinarily original observations on politics,
education, and human nature were provocative in their day and
remain resonant more than two hundred years after his death.
Rousseau's 1762 treatise "The Social Contract" laid intellectual
groundwork for both the American and French Revolutions,
influencing such figures as Thomas Jefferson. An eloquent writer
with profound insight into human psychology, Rousseau also penned
one of the most compelling autobiographies ever written--the
magisterial "Confessions." The entirety of the first three books of
that masterpiece along with the complete "Social Contract" are
included in this indispensable volume.
