A provocative essay that challenged the superiority of civilized society and modern government, Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Discourse on the Origin and Foundations of Inequality made him an outcast among fellow Enlightenment thinkers but stands today as one of the most important political texts in Western history. Helena Rosenblatt's new translation, introduction, and selection of related documents help students comprehend why Rousseau's criticisms of human nature, political hierarchy, and private property were so controversial in his time yet later were hailed as a foundation of democracy. The introduction explores life experiences that shaped Rousseau's philosophy, explains contemporary ideas about political authority and social order, and guides students through Rousseau's thought, including explanations of how his work anticipated theories about evolution and inspired leaders of the French Revolution. Related primary documents - including a selection from Rousseau's Social Contract - situate Rousseau's ideas in contemporary political and social thought. Questions for consideration, a chronology of Rousseau's life and work, and a selected bibliography enrich students' understanding of the man and his times.

评分【按语:《论人与人之间不平等的起因与基础(Discourse on the Origin and foundations on Inequality among mankind,1755)》是卢梭(Jean-Jacques Rousseau,1712-1778)的第二部作品,原本也是应第戎科学院征文而作。部分地,《论科学与艺术》引发的争论促成了这部作品。 ...
评分这本书买了一年多了,一直放在床头。想起来了就读一段。 前天晚上,终于翻完了最后一页。突然想再去读读卢梭的其他著作。我有些喜欢这个孤独的老头了 :D 初读的时候觉得有些晦涩,很多段文字需要反复阅读才能弄明白。但回顾下来,不得不佩服卢梭的思维缜密。若是活在他的年代...
