Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book re-examines the life and literary works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, largely regarded as an irredeemably complex and contradictory figure. The author posits that the widespread perception of Rousseau as a hypocrite, liar, and egomaniac is the result of a deliberate campaign of defamation, initiated during his lifetime by the likes of Voltaire, Diderot, and dâAlembert, a conspiracy which aimed to destroy his standing and reputation in the years following his death. By setting the record straight on the historical circumstances surrounding Rousseauâs life, this book presents a fresh perspective on his true personality and reveals how various individuals and groups have distorted our understanding of him through historical revisionism. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
