About this title

Synopsis

[This is Part 2 of a 2-part Audiobook CASSETTE Library Edition in vinyl case.]

[Read by Frederick Davidson]

The Confessions is Jean-Jacques Rousseau's landmark autobiography. Both brilliant and flawed, it is nonetheless beautifully written and remains one of the most moving human documents in all of literature. In this work, Rousseau ''frankly and sincerely'' settles accounts with himself in an effort to project his ''true'' image to the world. In so doing he reveals the details of a man who paid little regard to accepted morality and social conventions.

Dr. Johnson may have been correct in saying that ''Rousseau was a very bad man,'' but none can argue that his ideas are among the most influential in all of world history. It was Rousseau, the Father of the Romantic Movement, who was responsible for introducing at least two modern day thoughts that pervade academia: (1) Free expression of the creative spirit is more important than strict adhesion to formal rules and traditional procedures, and (2) Man is innately good but is corrupted by society and civilization.

About the Author

JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU (1712-1778) was one of the most influential thinkers during the Enlightenment in eighteenth-century Europe. His works were, and are, widely read, and he has been firmly established as a significant intellectual figure. His works and ideas influenced several noted philosophers and leaders of the French Revolution.
