J.-J. Rousseau is the most original, most profound and most
controversial of all the great eighteenth-century writers. The
problems he raised have since become even more acute and the search
for a solution increasingly desirable. His voice was a dissonant
one in an age which found satisfaction in material progress,
correlates the well-being of humanity with the advancement of
knowledge, and displayed a form of complacency which Rousseau sets
out to shatter. His message falls uneasily on the ears of the
acquisitive society. This volume contains the proceedings of a
colloquium held in 1978 in Trinity College, Cambridge, to
commemorate the bicentenary of Rousseau's death. It contains the
complete text of the fourteen papers given before an invited
audience by leading specialists, covering politics, sociology,
language, literature and music. It also contains a slightly
abridged version of the discussions to which these papers gave
rise.
