Rousseau

<p>Timothy O'Hagan investigates Jean-Jacques Rousseau's writings concerning the formation of humanity of the individual and of the citizen in his three master works: the <em>Discourse on the Origin of Inequality among Men</em> <em>Emile </em>and the <em>Social Contract</em>. He explores Rousseau's reflections on the sexes language and religion. <br><br>O'Hagan gives Rousseau's arguments a close and sympathetic reading. He writes as a philosopher not a historian yet he never loses sight of the cultural context of Rousseau's work.</p>
