Jean-Jacques Rousseau - Esprit, Maximes et Principes - 1764

Rare edition of this collection that gathers and highlights a set of thoughts, maxims, moral reflections and principles attributed to Rousseau, allowing one to follow the major orientations of his philosophy and his conception of man, of society, morality and freedom -

In the intellectual context of the 18th century, such a work fits into the broad diffusion of Rousseauist ideas, as Rousseau has become one of the most influential and controversial writers of the Enlightenment thanks to works such as the Discourse on the Sciences and Arts, the Discourse on the Origin and Foundations of Inequality Among Men, The Social Contract, Julie or the New Heloise, Emile and Julie (Émile et Julie ou la Nouvelle Héloïse) -

The collection offers the interest of bringing together in a condensed form ideas that, in the original works, are developed in much longer arguments, and thus it allows the reader to grasp the essential themes of Rousseau's thought through brief formulations and propositions intended to provoke reflection -
