Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, (1712-1778) was a philosopher and composer
of the Enlightenment whose political philosophy influenced the
French Revolution, the development of both liberal and socialist
theory, and the growth of nationalism.
The Norton Library edition of Rousseau's Discourse features an
inviting and readable translation by Julia Conaway Bondanella that
makes the text accessible to the modern English reader while
faithfully preserving the power and clarity of Rousseau's voice and
style of argumentation. A thorough introduction by Frederick
Neuhouser-"one of the most brilliant philosophical readers of
Rousseau that we have" (Christopher Brooke)-provides historical and
intellectual context for the Discourse and its major arguments.
Annotations throughout the text clarify obscure or ambiguous terms
and references.
