Writer, musician and philosopher The person and the work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau fascinate. For much, it is in the center of the values essential with our world: ideas of freedom, equality, the French revolution, the broad topics of the literature and the social sciences.
No one better than Rousseau did not announce new times, it is the only thinker who, starting from the fiction of impossible, creates the possible one. Its dream produced a new world. If Jean-Jacques Rousseau were the object of also contradictory judgments, it is that it took in all the fields which it approached, a resolutely innovative position.
In full XVIIIe century, he pleads for the rights of disinherited, he affirms that education must start with the character and that it must tend to train men more than spirits, he excels tracking the strategies of the desire, he proclaims that sovereignty is one and indivisible, he denounces the theater-spectacle which isolates the individuals, he preaches the respect of nature and he warns on the dangers of the theory of progress.
Nothing escapes the investigation Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the vastness of her work testifies some. And yet, that of incomprehension and misunderstandings around the man and work! Henri Berson said: “Rousseau is par excellence the man whom one discusses without knowing it”.
