In his Discourses (1755), Rousseau argues that inequalities of rank, wealth, and power are the inevitable result of the civilizing process. If inequality is intolerable - and Rousseau shows with unparalledled eloquence how it robs us not only of our material but also of our psychological independence - then how can we recover the peaceful self-sufficiency of life in the state of nature? We cannot return to a simpler time, but measuring the costs of progress may help us to imagine alternatives to the corruption and oppressive conformity of modern society. Rousseau's sweeping account of humanity's social and political development epitomizes the innovative boldness of the Englightment, and it is one of the most provocative and influential works of the eighteenth century. This new translation includes all Rousseau's own notes, and Patrick Coleman's introduction builds on recent key scholarship, considering particularly the relationship between political and aesthetic thought.

評分首先要吐槽一下本書作者的論證方式,很多地方基本上是通過舉例子和個人推理的方式去證明自己的觀點,漏洞很多。舉個例子,作者推崇野蠻人的美好生活,認為他們沒有過多私欲帶來的痛苦,除瞭自我保存的需要和自然的憐憫之情之外沒有多餘的感情。首先我們沒有辦法知道作者所謂野...
