A comprehensive and authoritative anthology of Rousseau's important early political writings in faithful English translations. This volume includes the Discourse on the Sciences and the Arts and the Discourse on the Origin and the Foundations of Inequality Among Men - the so-called First and Second Discourses - together with Rousseau's extensive Replies to Critics of these Discourses; the Essay on the Origin of Languages; the Letter to Voltaire on Providence; as well as several minor but illuminating writings - the Discourse on Heroic Virtue and the essay On the Method on the Composition of a Book. In these as well as in his later writings, Rousseau probes to the very premises of modern thought. His influence was wide-reaching from the very first, and it has continued to grow since his death. The American and the French Revolutions were profoundly affected by his thought, as were Romanticism and Idealism Political science -- Early works to 1800 Gourevitch, Victor Editor ddc BK 0 0 0 0 NASSDOC NASSDOC 2024-05-22 Ahuja Book company 4606.20 2024-03-21 0 320.11 DIS- 54493 2024-05-22 00:00:00 7086.47 2024-05-22 BK
