In The Social Contract, Rousseau boldly presents his vision of political justice, advocating for the foundation, organization, and administration of a truly just and legitimate state. With his signature audacity, he makes a compelling case for direct democracy, while condemning all other forms of government as illegitimate and akin to slavery. Celebrated as a revolutionary text that played a pivotal role in igniting the French Revolution, this work not only fuels discontent with existing governments but also inspires readers to imagine and strive for a radically different political and social ...

"Les Rêvries du promeneur solitaire" de Jean-Jacques Rousseau, promenades un à cinq : "L'habitude de rentrer en moi-même me fit perdre le sentiment et presque le souvenir de mes maux, j'appris ainsi par ma propre expérience que la source du vrai bonheur est en nous, et qu'il ne dépend pas des hommes de rendre vraiment misérable celui qui sait vouoir être heureux."

"Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains." These are the famous opening words of a treatise that has not ceased to stir vigorous debate since its first publication in 1762. Rejecting the view that anyone has a natural right to wield authority over others, Rousseau argues instead for a pact, or 'social contract', that should exist between all the citizens of a state and that should be the source of sovereign power.

Inspiré par les écrits de Hobbes et de Montesquieu, ce petit traité aux principes atemporels est un véritable bréviaire de citoyenneté.

Published in 1762, it had a profound impact on the approach to the education and upbringing of a child, through infancy, childhood, adolescence and into adulthood. This was partly fuelled by the format – for Rousseau presents before us the boy Emile, taking him through the various stages of life, and as Emile becomes a young man, introducing a female counterpart, Sophie. This device personalises what would otherwise be a more formal philosophical presentation.

Le caractère éminemment subversif de la "Profession de foi du vicaire savoyard" contraignit à l'époque Rousseau à le dissimuler au cœur de l'"Émile", son traité d'éducation. Cette petite précaution ne suffira pas puisque l'auteur se retrouve dès la sortie du livre condamné à la prise de corps par les pères de l'Église et l'ouvrage, brûlé en place publique en maintes villes d'Europe.

Dr. Johnson may have been correct in saying that “Rousseau was a very bad man,” but none can argue that his ideas are among the most influential in all of world history. It was Rousseau, the father of the romantic movement, who was responsible for introducing at least two modern day thoughts that pervade academia. The Confessions is Rousseau’s landmark autobiography. Both brilliant and flawed, it is nonetheless beautifully written and remains one of the most moving human documents in all of literature.

Published four years after Rousseau's death, Confessions is a remarkably frank and honest self-portrait, described by Rousseau as "the history of my soul". From his idyllic youth in the Swiss mountains, to his career as a composer in Paris and his abandonment of his children, Rousseau lays bare his entire life with preternatural honesty.

Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. In The Social Contract, Rousseau explores the concept of freedom and the political structures that may enable people to acquire it. He argues that the sovereign power of a state lies not in any one ruler but in the will of the general population. Rousseau argues that the ideal state would be a direct democracy where executive decision making is carried out by citizens who meet in assembly, as they would in the ancient city-state of Athens.

Dans ce discours à portée réaliste, Rousseau nous livre ici ses idées...

Published in 1762, Émile, or On Education is a groundbreaking work by Jean-Jacques Rousseau that reshaped the landscape of education and politics. Through the fictional character of Emile, Rousseau explores the intricacies of human development, emphasizing the balance between nurturing the mind and managing passions. His radical views on established institutions sparked significant controversy, notably attracting the ire of Archbishop Christophe de Beaumont, who condemned the book in an encyclical. Rousseau argues that man undergoes two births the first to exist and the second to truly live, ...

Es ist das politisch-theoretische Hauptwerk des Schweizer Philosophen Jean-Jacques Rousseau: Der Gesellschaftsvertrag. Das Werk erschien zuerst 1762 in Amsterdam und wurde sofort darauf in zahlreichen Ländern verboten. Im Geiste der Aufklärung versucht der Autor, Grundlagen moderner Demokratie in Worte zu fassen. Dass die alleinige Grundlage legitimer politischer Macht immer nur der allgemeine Wille sein kann, der auf das Gemeinwohl abzielt, war ein Gedanke, der große Kreise zog - und unleugbar die französische Revolution beschleunigte.

The Reveries of the Solitary Walker was one of the last works written by the French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) and was, in fact, not quite complete. It was published four years after his death and came quickly to be regarded as one of his most poetic works. It consists of 10 Walks (only the final ‘Walk’ was unfinished) during which he muses on a variety of topics including thoughts on issues which featured strongly in his notable life as a philosopher and commentator, including education and political philosophy.
