Rousseau s'interroge dans cet essai moins sur l'origine des langues à proprement parler que sur le fondement de la parole entendu comme cause historique et sociale du surgissement des langues. Là où beaucoup, à l'époque, imagine dans la naissance du langage la réponse rationnelle à un besoin de communication pratique entre les hommes, Rousseau lui, y voit la pleine expression sociale du caractère sensible de l'être humain soumis aux passions.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau es recordado como uno de los grandes pensadores del siglo XVIII, pero su obra El Contrato Social es más que un tratado político: es también una guía profunda para la libertad personal, la autodisciplina y el crecimiento interior. Si bien se enmarca en el contexto de cómo debe organizarse un Estado justo, sus enseñanzas pueden leerse como una metáfora poderosa sobre cómo ser el soberano de tu propia vida.

"Je forme une entreprise qui n'eut jamais d'exemple, et dont l'exécution n'aura point d'imitateur. Je veux montrer à mes semblables un homme dans toute la vérité de la nature ; et cet homme, ce sera moi. (...) Que la trompette du jugement dernier sonne quand elle voudra, je viendrai, ce livre à la main, me présenter devant le souverain juge. Je dirai hautement : Voilà ce que j'ai fait, ce que j'ai pensé, ce que je fus."

"J'ai dit la vérité : si quelqu'un sait des choses contraires à ce que je viens d'exposer, fussent-elles mille fois prouvées, il sait des mensonges et des impostures ; et s'il refuse de les approfondir et de les éclaircir avec moi tandis que je suis en vie, il n'aime ni la justice ni la vérité."

Rousseau's Social Contract remains, after a quarter of a millennium, one of the most controversial texts in the history of political philosophy, variously seen as a model for participatory democracy, a blueprint for totalitarianism, and several points in between. In addition to Rousseau’s magnum opus, this production includes an introduction by George Douglas Howard Cole, an English political theorist, economist, writer and historian. Also included are three discourses that Rousseau composed apart from The Social Contract.

L'homme est naturellement bon ; c'est la société qui le pervertit. On doit cette idée fondamentale à Jean-Jacques Rousseau, philosophe, initiateur du genre autobiographique avec les "Confessions", penseur politique, écrivain romantique, et même compositeur d'opéra ; une figure majeure de l'âge des Lumières.

En 1749, l'Académie de Dijon met au concours la question suivante : Si le rétablissement des sciences et des arts a contribué à épurer les mœurs. Alors qu'il va rendre visite à Diderot prisonnier à Vincennes, Rousseau feuillette le Mercure de France qui publie la question : "Si jamais quelque chose a ressemblé à une inspiration subite, écrira-t-il plus tard, c'est le mouvement qui se fit en moi à cette lecture ; tout à coup, je me sens l'esprit ébloui de mille lumières..."

"Affreuse illusion des choses humaines ! Elle me reçut toujours avec son excellent cœur, qui ne pouvait mourir qu'avec elle ; mais je venais rechercher le passé qui n'était plus, et qui ne pouvait renaître... A peine eus-je resté une demi-heure avec elle, que je sentis mon ancien bonheur mort pour toujours."

Als Rousseau 1765 der Bitte seines Verlegers nachkam, seine Lebensgeschichte zu Papier zu bringen, konnte er nicht ahnen, dass seine Bekenntnisse noch Jahrhunderte später als Schlüsselwerk gelten würden. Zum ersten Mal boten die niedergeschriebenen Erinnerungen eines Schriftstellers mehr als allgemeine Gedanken zu Gesellschaft und Religion. Sie wurden zur präzisen Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Persönlichkeit. Das intime Psychogramm des Pädagogen und Philosophen Rousseau in der Lesung von Joachim Höppner bietet mehr als 30 Stunden Hörgenuss.

Immerse yourself in the complex emotions and experiences of the young Jean-Jacques, as he enters adulthood under the guidance of his maman, his primary source of comfort. I loved her too much to desire her, he confesses, hinting at the depths of their bond that surpasses typical relationships. However, his happiness is tainted by an undefined sadness, a sense of guilt as if he has committed incest. Despite their closeness, she doesnt share his remorse, for she never sought pleasure. Join us as we navigate the tangled web of his emotions in these volumes.

Immerse yourself in the world of young Jean-Jacques Rousseau who is swayed more by the slightest pleasures at his fingertips than all the delights of paradise. His emotional vulnerability leads him on a series of adventurous escapades with drifters and outcasts, always culminating in a reunion with his mother figure, Madame de Warens. In an unparalleled act of self-disclosure, Rousseau starts Volume 3 with a scandalously indecent act in a dark alleyway. This 1903 edition, failing to understand the comically strange tone of the passage, omits it to shield the reader. (Summary by Martin Geeson)

Dive deep into the soul of Rousseau as he courageously embarks on a profound journey of self-introspection in Confessions. These first two volumes, as presented in this 1903 edition, dive into his early years, exploring his upbringing and youthful indiscretions. The narrative, reminiscent of Proust’s A la recherche du temps perdu, dwells on the dual nature of man, the vile and the virtuous. Be prepared for Rousseaus raw honesty as he unveils embarrassing and humbling experiences, aiming for an ultimate, soul-baring transparency that may be both unsettling and enlightening.
