According to Rousseau, the best relationship between unequals is
one of 'benificence', giving, receiving and repaying benefits. This
1993 book addresses the problem implicit in his writings of whether
it is indeed possible for a just and generous relationship to exist
between non-equals. Judith Still draws together issues in
Rousseau's work which are often treated in isolation: the state,
just relations between individuals, sexual politics and the
constructing of a feminine identity. She analyses his works, his
classical sources, and the conceptual underpinnings of his ethics,
crossing the boundary between study of Rousseau as a complex and
sensitive writer of fiction and autobiography and consideration of
his political and ethical theory. Using techniques of reading drawn
from literary theory, particularly from the work of Derrida, de Man
and Starobinski, she argues that for Rousseau it is sexual
difference which disturbs the practice of benificence.
