About Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) was a Swiss-born philosopher, writer, and composer whose ideas influenced the development of modern political and educational thought. Best known for works such as "The Social Contract" and "Emile, or On Education," Rousseau advocated for the concept of the general will and the importance of individual freedom, shaping the Enlightenment and later democratic theories. His life was marked by personal struggles and a profound belief in the innate goodness of humanity, which he saw as corrupted by society.
