Summary from the back of the book:
"I am unlike anyone else in this world..."
Thus begin the Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a unique autobiography of psychological depth.
Musician, poet, novelist, botanist, but above all a thinker who denied the title of "philosopher", Rousseau was the first to raise the question of whether the evolution of civilization also means the improvement of man. His answer, that civilization corrupts man and intensifies social inequality, shocked his contemporaries and remains a challenge even today.
Was it Rousseau who inspired the French Revolution? Are the roots of romanticism,
psychoanalysis, and existentialism found in him? Discovering Rousseau presents a nonconformist thinker,
whose ideas revolutionized our approach to childhood, education, governance, language, etc.
