作者简介

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778) was a towering figure in the Enlightenment, an era characterized by an explosion of philosophical and intellectual activity in Europe. Of Genevan origin, Rousseau's writings touched on a vast spectrum of human inquiry, ranging from educational theory to political philosophy. Among his most significant contributions is 'The Social Contract', often cited alongside 'Èmile, or On Education' for their revolutionary views on political organization and child-centered learning. Yet, it is in his final book, 'The Reveries of the Solitary Walker' (Les Rêveries du Promeneur Solitaire), published posthumously in 1782, that Rousseau offers an introspective journey into his own thoughts and feelings as he confronted the ramifications of his personal life and his interactions with contemporary society. This work provides profound insights into his philosophical musings, his own emotional landscape as well as his stylistic mastery in merging personal reflections with broader human experiences. Rousseau's literary style is characterized by its earnestness and direct appeal to the reader's emotions, a preference for evocative imagery that reveals universal truths about human nature. His influence has been enduring, growing to represent a significant benchmark not only in Western philosophy but also in literature and the shaping of modern political thought.
