Project Gutenberg 2013-12-20 Public domain in the USA. 68 Hensel, Paul 1860 1930 Rousseau E-text prepared by Jana Srna, Norbert H. Langkau, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) "Rousseau" by Paul Hensel is a scholarly examination of the thoughts and philosophical contributions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, written in the early 20th century. The text reflects on Rousseau's impact on the development of ideas concerning human nature, philosophy of history, and education, aiming to present a synthesis of his significant concepts without diving deeply into biographical details. Hensel seeks to provide a clear understanding of Rousseau's philosophy and its importance in the context of Enlightenment thought. The opening of the work introduces the reader to Hensel's purpose and approach. He emphasizes Jean-Jacques Rousseau's role as a pivotal figure bridging the Enlightenment's classical ideas and emerging new notions of human existence. Hensel outlines Rousseau's inclination to reflect on the human condition and society's evolution, contrasting him with contemporaries like Voltaire. The author positions Rousseau as a visionary who, plagued by contradictions, sought to explore deeper truths about humanity and societal dynamics—setting the stage for a comprehensive dive into Rousseau's philosophical theories in subsequent chapters.
