روسو

Rousseau is considered one of the most influential thinkers in modern history and one of the most prominent symbols of the European Enlightenment era and its most important critic at the same time; he condemned the political, economic, religious, and sexual aspects of civilization in a way that stirs the enthusiasm of followers of the Romantic individualist doctrine and radical revolutionaries alike. In this study of Rousseau's life and works, Robert Wookler explains how Rousseau's philosophy of history, his theories in music and politics, his literary works, his educational and religious writings, and even his work in botany all inspired the dreamy ideals of human self-fulfillment in a state of unrestricted freedom. There are many more detailed specialized works about Rousseau's life and works, but none covers the range of topics addressed in this book, along with its engaging and concise presentation style.
