Discourse on the Sciences and Arts (First Discourse) and Polemics (Collected Writings of Rousseau) by Jean-Jacques Rousseau (PDF)

Description

Contains the entire First Discourse, contemporary attacks on it, Rousseau’s replies to his critics, and his summary of the debate in his preface to Narcissus. A number of these texts have never before been available in English. The First Discourse and Polemics demonstrate the continued relevance of Rousseau’s thought. Whereas his critics argue for correction of the excesses and corruptions of knowledge and the sciences as sufficient, Rousseau attacks the social and political effects of the dominant forms of scientific knowledge.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Rousseau wrote the cause of all evil were the civilization and culture and had to return to the noble savage. Something similar is happening today when we return to the natural, to the ecological as remeasured to all the ills of modern society. In essence, man is born good but are corrupted as it grows into a world like today. This is one of the most influential books of all time and it became known to the author.
