書籍簡介

《盧梭重要著作》(The Essential Writings of Rousseau)收集了世界上非常有影響力的作家之一的優秀、不可或缺的作品。作為啟蒙思想的傑出人物，讓·雅克·盧梭也是啟蒙運動中頗具激情和説服力的批評者之一。他對政治、教育和人性的獨到見解在當時頗有爭議，在他去世200多年後仍能引起共鳴。盧梭1762年的論文《社會契約論》為美國革命和法國革命奠定了思想基礎，影響了托馬斯·傑斐遜等人物。盧梭口才好，對人的心理有着深刻的洞察，他還寫了有史以來非常引人注目的自傳之一——《權威的自白》。那部鉅著的前三本連同完整的《社會契約》都包含在這本不可缺少的書中。

The Essential Writings of Rousseau collects the best and most indispensable work of one of the world’s most influential writers. A towering figure of Enlightenment thought, Jean-Jacques Rousseau was also one of that movement’s most passionate and persuasive critics. His extraordinarily original observations on politics, education, and human nature were provocative in their day and remain resonant more than two hundred years after his death. Rousseau’s 1762 treatise The Social Contract laid intellectual groundwork for both the American and French Revolutions, influencing such figures as Thomas Jefferson. An eloquent writer with profound insight into human psychology, Rousseau also penned one of the most compelling autobiographies ever written—the magisterial Confessions. The entirety of the first three books of that masterpiece along with the complete Social Contract are included in this indispensable volume.
