Rousseauian Mind
«
"At last a collection of essays as wide-ranging as the mind of Rousseau. In forty-four chapters, it covers his predecessors, contemporaries, and successors; his theoretical, autobiographical and even musical writings. A most useful companion for the scholar and student alike."
Arthur Melzer, Michigan State University, USA
"Students and other informed readers will find here clear, carefully-argued articles presenting Rousseau’s texts and offering an overview of the writer’s relations with predecessors and contemporaries. Modern interpretations are fully and judiciously presented. The book is fresh, up to date and comprehensive."
Michael O' Dea, University of Lyon, France
