This volume includes the Discourse on the Sciences and Arts and the Discourse on the Origin and the Foundations of Inequality among Men - the so-called First and Second Discourses - together with Rousseau's extensive Replies to critics of these Discourses; the Essay on the Origin of Languages; the Letter to Voltaire on Providence; as well as several minor but illuminating writings - the Discourse on Heroic Virtue and the essay Idea of the Method in the Composition of a Book. In these as well as in his later writings, Rousseau probes the very premises of modern thought. His influence was wide-reaching from the very first, and it has continued to grow since his death. The American and the French Revolutions were profoundly affected by his thought, as were Romanticism and Idealism. This new edition features up-to-date translations, an expanded introduction, and an extensive editorial apparatus designed to assist students at every level access these seminal texts.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Chronology of Jean-Jacques Rousseau\u003cbr\u003e A brief guide to further reading\u003cbr\u003e A note on the texts\u003cbr\u003e A note on the translations\u003cbr\u003e A note on the editorial notes and index\u003cbr\u003e Discourse on the Sciences and Arts or First Discourse\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Part I\u003cbr\u003e Part II\u003cbr\u003e Replies to Critics\u003cbr\u003e Letter to M. l'Abbé Raynal\u003cbr\u003e Observations [to Stanislas, King of Poland]\u003cbr\u003e Letter to Grimm\u003cbr\u003e Last Reply\u003cbr\u003e Letter about a New Refutation\u003cbr\u003e Preface to Narcissus\u003cbr\u003e Preface of a Second Letter to Bordes\u003cbr\u003e Discourse on the Origin and Foundations of Inequality Among Men or Second Discourse\u003cbr\u003e Epistle Dedicatory\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Exordium\u003cbr\u003e Part I\u003cbr\u003e Part II\u003cbr\u003e Rousseau's notes\u003cbr\u003e Replies to critics\u003cbr\u003e Letter to Philopolis\u003cbr\u003e Reply to Charles-Georges Le Roy\u003cbr\u003e Letter to Voltaire\u003cbr\u003e Essay on the Origin of Languages\u003cbr\u003e Idea of the method in the composition of a book\u003cbr\u003e Discourse on the Virtue a Hero Most Needs or On Heroic Virtue\u003cbr\u003e List of abbreviations and textual conventions\u003cbr\u003e Editorial notes\u003cbr\u003e Index of editors, translators, and annotators\u003cbr\u003e General index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e], History of ideas [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of ideas\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20ideas%20%5BJFCX%5D%22\"\u003eJFCX\u003c\/a\u003e], Early modern history: c 1450\/1500 to c 1700 [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Early modern history: c 1450\/1500 to c 1700\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Early%20modern%20history:%20c%201450\/1500%20to%20c%201700%20%5BHBLH%5D%22\"\u003eHBLH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265643270424,"sku":"9781107151246","price":59.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781107151246i.jpg?v=1692025222","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/rousseau-the-discourses-and-other-early-political-writings-hardback-9781107151246","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
