Romanticism and Civilization examines romantic alternatives to
modern life in Rousseau's foundational novel Julie. It argues that
Julie is a response to the ills of modern civilization, and that
Rousseau saw that the Enlightenment's combination of science and of
democracy degraded human life by making it bourgeois. The bourgeois
is man uprooted by science and attached to nothing but himself. He
lives a commercial life and his materialism and calculations
penetrate all aspects of his existence. He is neither citizen, nor
family man, nor lover in any serious sense: his life is
meaningless. Rousseau's romanticism in Julie is an attempt to find
connectedness through the sentiments of private life and wholeness
through love, marriage, and family.
