Description
A general talk on Rousseau's achievement by Professor John Cocking. It attempts to isolate the basic patterns of Rousseau's thoughts, pointing to its roots in his personality, and showing the coher...ence which underlies its many and varied expressions in his different writings. The emphasis falls mainly on Rousseau's social and psychological ideas, with minimal reference to his political theory. It refers chiefly to the Discourse on Inequality, Emile, the Confessions, and the Reveries.
