Universally regarded as the greatest French political theorist
and philosopher of education of the Enlightenment, and probably the
greatest French social theorist tout court, Rousseau was an
important forerunner of the French Revolution, though his thought
was too nuanced and subtle ever to serve as mere ideology. This
2001 volume systematically surveys the full range of Rousseau''s
activities in politics and education, psychology, anthropology,
religion, music, and theater.
