Beschreibung:
Robert Wokler was based at the Whitney Humanities Center at Yale University, where he was Senior Lecturer in Political Science and the Special Program in the Humanities.
Rousseau was both a central figure of the European Enlightenment and its most formidable critic. In this compact, thought-provoking study of his works across a range of disciplines, Robert Wokler shows how his thinking and writing were all inspired by an ideal of humanity's self-realization in a condition of unfettered freedom. No other work on Rousseau provides such a readable introduction to his life and work.
