 – Customer review on 14/12/2008
The first is a prize-winning (1749) essay in which he argued that the arts and sciences merely corrupted the natural goodness of man. In the Contract his opening sentence "Man is born free but everywhere is in chains" and asks what gives the state the right to wield power over its members. Emile is a novel in which he gives views on education. (I don't like Rousseau. His mistress, with whom he lived for 25 years, bore him 5 children, each of whom he deposited on the steps of a foundling hospital).
