| Summary | "Rousseau" by John Morley is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. The work provides an extensive exploration of the life and philosophical contributions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, emphasizing his role as a seminal figure in the context of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. The author delves into Rousseau's personal history, ideological impact, and the complexities of his character, presenting him as a profound thinker who influenced social and political thought. The opening of the text establishes the significance of Rousseau's work as a precursor to the revolutionary ideas that shaped modern democratic societies. Morley introduces the revolutionary nature of Rousseau’s theories, explaining his philosophical divergence from contemporaries like Voltaire and Diderot. The initial chapters cover Rousseau's early life, including his formative experiences, the profound impact of his family and educational influences, and his tumultuous relationships. This serves to lay the groundwork for understanding how Rousseau's personal struggles translated into his revolutionary ideas about society, religion, and governance, ultimately framing him as a pivotal thinker who grappled with the moral and political complexities of his time.
