Opis

This book, first published in 1974, studies the similarities between Rousseau’s thought and that of the Stoics, examining his ideas on man, society, and the state. It makes close reference to Rousseau’s writings and to the works of Seneca, presenting an opportunity to really come to grips with a complex and often contradictory mind.
