In his Discourses (1755), Rousseau argues that inequalities of rank, wealth, and power are the inevitable result of the civilizing process. If inequality is intolerable - and Rousseau shows with unparalledled eloquence how it robs us not only of our material but also of our psychological independence - then how can we recover the peaceful self-sufficiency of life in the state of nature? We cannot return to a simpler time, but measuring the costs of progress may help us to imagine alternatives to the corruption and oppressive conformity of modern society. Rousseau's sweeping account of humanity's social and political development epitomizes the innovative boldness of the Englightment, and it is one of the most provocative and influential works of the eighteenth century. This new translation includes all Rousseau's own notes, and Patrick Coleman's introduction builds on recent key scholarship, considering particularly the relationship between political and aesthetic thought.

评分首先要吐槽一下本书作者的论证方式,很多地方基本上是通过举例子和个人推理的方式去证明自己的观点,漏洞很多。举个例子,作者推崇野蛮人的美好生活,认为他们没有过多私欲带来的痛苦,除了自我保存的需要和自然的怜悯之情之外没有多余的感情。首先我们没有办法知道作者所谓野...
评分1749年夏,卢梭去巴黎郊外万森堡监狱探望被捕的狄德罗,路上偶见第戎学院征文公告——“科学和艺术的进步到底是腐蚀了道德,还是促进了道德?” 仿佛一道强光,卢梭浑身战栗、大汗淋漓、如梦方醒,仿佛突然窥见了另一个世界。 这一刻,改变了他的一生。 从此,卢梭坚定地站在了...
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...
好多鞭辟入里的警世箴言。思考现代人被社会加上的种种枷锁,不由得产生对自然和自由的无尽向往啊。。
