About Rousseau
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) was a prominent philosopher, writer, and composer of the Enlightenment era, best known for his influential works on political theory and education, including "The Social Contract" and "Emile, or On Education." He advocated for the concepts of individual freedom and popular sovereignty, arguing that legitimate political authority relies on the consent of the governed. Rousseau's ideas significantly shaped modern political thought, romanticism, and the development of educational theory.
