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 Discourse on the Origin of Inequality among Men, Emile and the Social Contract. He explores Rousseau's reflections on the sexes, language and religion. 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.;Book Cover -- Half-Title -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- CONTENTS -- Acknowledgements -- INTRODUCTION Rousseau: the life and the work1 -- (A) Geneva: an eccentric upbringing (1712-28) -- (B) Savoy and France: discovery and loss of love (1728-42) -- (C) Paris, with Venetian interlude: formation of a writer, subverting the Enlightenment 'from within' (1742-55) -- (D) Montmorency, Montlouis: the maturing of a genius (1756-62) -- (E) Switzerland, England, France: years of exile (1762-70) -- (i) The Swiss exile (1762-6) -- (ii) The English exile (1766-7) -- (iii) Internal exile back in France (1767-70) -- (F) Return to Paris: a life withdrawn (1770-8) -- (G) Sickness and solitude -- (H) The three axes of Rousseau's thought -- (I) Hume's generous judgment -- I Rousseau's Divided Thought: the Morality of the Senses and the Morality of Duty -- (A) Two themes in tension -- (B) 'Man is a naturally good creature' -- (C) 'That great maxim of morality' -- (D) Contradiction -- (E) Imagination and amour-propre -- (F) Three strategies of identification -- (i) Identification with society -- (ii) Retreat from society: identification with the natural order -- (iii) Religion: identification with the divine order -- (G) Julie's 'Elysium': dialectic of nature and art -- (H) The perils of manipulation and bad faith -- (i) Manipulation in education: the tutor and the pupil -- (ii) Manipulation in politics: the Lawgiver and the people -- (iii) Bad faith -- (I) 'Virtue is a state of war' -- (J) The fate of the morality of the senses -- (K) Romanticism and reason: two perspectives on the morality of the senses -- II The Discourse on the Origin of Inequality Among Men -- (A) Time and 'the sciences of man' -- (B) 'Nascent man' in the 'pure state of nature' -- (C) Emergence from nature via the 'combination of several extraneous causes' (2D 162/42).
