About Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) was a prominent Swiss philosopher, writer, and composer of the Enlightenment era, best known for his influential works on political theory and education. His seminal texts, such as "The Social Contract" and "Emile, or On Education," explored concepts of individual freedom, democracy, and the inherent goodness of humanity, challenging the norms of his time. Rousseau's ideas significantly shaped modern political philosophy and the development of romanticism in literature and art.
