Research on Rousseau's innovative last work is changing direction.
Long situated in a context of autobiographical writing, its moral
and philosophical content is now a major critical preoccupation.
The Nature of Rousseau's 'Reveries': physical, human, aesthetic
brings together the work of international specialists to explore
new approaches to the defining feature - the 'nature' - of the
Reveries. In essays which range from studies of botany or landscape
painting to thematic or stylistic readings, authors re-examine
Rousseau's intellectual understanding of and personal relationship
with different conceptions of nature. Drawing connections between
this text and earlier theoretical writings, authors analyse not
only the philosophical and personal implications of Rousseau's
reflections on the outer world but also and his attempts to examine
and validate both his own nature and that of 'l'homme naturel'. In
The Nature of Rousseau's 'Reveries': physical, human, aesthetic the
contributors offer new insights into the character of Rousseau's
last major work and suggest above all its experimental, elusive
quality, hovering between inner and outer worlds, escape and
fulfilment, experience and writing. They underline the unique
richness of the Reveries, a work to be situated not simply at the
end of Rousseau's life, but at the very centre of his thought.
