Rousseau, Judge of Jean-Jacques: Dialogues
ISBN: 9781611682922 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. One of Rousseau's later and most puzzling works and never before available in English, this neglected autobiographical piece was the product of the philosopher's old age and sense of persecution. Long viewed simply as evidence of his growing paranoia, it consists of three dialogues between a character named "Rousseau" and one identified only as "Frenchman" who discuss the bad reputation and works of an author named "Jean-Jacques." Dialogues offers a fascinating retrospective of his literary career.

Published between 1762 and 1765, these writings are the last works Rousseau wrote for publication during his lifetime.

Rousseau's response concerns the general theme of the relation between reason and revelation and contains...

The Confessions and Correspondence, Including the Letters to Malesherbes
ISBN: 9780874518368 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 736 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When Rousseau first read his Confessions to a 1770 gathering in Paris, reactions varied from admiration of his candor to doubts about his sanity to outrage. Indeed, Rousseau's intent and approach were revolutionary. As one of the first attempts at autobiography, the Confessions' novelty lay not in just its retelling the facts of Rousseau's life, but in its revelation of his innermost feelings and its frank description of the strengths and failings of his character. Based on his doctrine of natural goodness, Rousseau intended the Confessions as a testing ground to explore his belief that,...
