1782 Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau Autobiography Enlightenment Philosophy

 

“People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little.”

― Jean-Jacques Rousseau

 

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was an 18^th-century Enlightenment philosopher whose political theories helped shape aspects of the French Revolution. His “Confessions” is simply his own autobiography. To this point, very few autobiographical works had been written, and, following the success of this work, many other autobiographies were published – a highly influential work!

 

This work discusses Rousseau’s own feelings and outlooks on life, his great shames, successes, and even some controversial parts of his relationship with Therese Levasseur!
