About this eBook
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the radical thinker of the Enlightenment, profoundly influenced political philosophy, education, and literature. Born in Geneva in 1712, Rousseau’s works, including The Social Contract and Émile, challenged societal norms and advocated for individual freedom and natural living. This biography traces his journey from an impoverished upbringing to becoming a central figure in the Enlightenment. Rousseau’s revolutionary ideas about democracy, education, and human nature inspired both the French Revolution and modern concepts of equality and justice. His emotional and often turbulent personal life adds depth to his intellectual pursuits, creating a portrait of a man who sought to reconcile reason with emotion. This book captures the enduring impact of Rousseau’s ideas on philosophy, politics, and literature.
