Rousseau transformed our understanding of the human phenomenon. Thirteen studies assess this intellectual revolution which has implications for conceptions of the self, the idea of goodness, the potential of politics, and the perception of society. Each study scrutinises the radical nature of the science of humankind inaugurated by Rousseau.

Review - French Les theories de Jean-Jacques Rousseau ont modifie notre idee de l'homme et le sentiment que chacun a de soi en renouvelant notre comprehension des differents aspects du phenomene humain. Cet ouvrage rassemble treize etudes qui nous font penetrer dans son atelier ; elles nous permettent d'apprecier l'ampleur de sa reforme et la radicalite de sa science nouvelle en prenant la mesure de cette revolution theorique qui touche l'image de soi, l'idee du bien, les attentes politiques et la perception de la societe. La litterature et la philosophie sont partie prenante de cette enquete.
