The virulent debate between Rousseau and the philosophers hides a common reference to medical discourse. Rousseau confronts not only the encyclopedic party, but also physicians developing their own theory of man.
- By (author) Rudy Le Mentheour
Review - French Ce livre se propose d'examiner le combat polemique entre Rousseau et les philosophes sous un nouvel angle, en considerant un tiers souvent passe sous silence : le discours medical. Lorsqu'il entreprend d'edifier son anthropologie, Rousseau ne se confronte pas seulement au parti encyclopedique, mais aussi aux medecins, qui elaborent leur propre theorie physico-morale de l'homme, fondee sur le primat de la physiologie. De la meme facon que Rousseau retourne contre le materialisme ses fondements sensualistes, il sape le nouveau discours medical en usant du modele hygienique. Nee au sein des Lumieres, mais contestant leur orientation generale, l'hygiene morale de Rousseau s'en revele le fruit amer.
