Description
|
|
|
|
A musician, poet, novelist, and botanist, but above all a philosopher who firmly denied being one, Jean-Jacques Rousseau was the first to ask: What is the value of civilization? His answer—that civilization corrupts natural goodness and increases social inequalities—shocked his Enlightenment contemporaries. Introducing Rousseau presents a maverick thinker whose ideas revolutionized our understanding of childhood, education, government, and language. Like the other titles in the Introducing series, this book illuminates the essential arguments and concepts of its subject in a graphic context of informational and impressionistic cartoons, drawings, and diagrams, along with quotes, voice balloons, sidebars, and other visual commentary.
