Available"The life, personality, and thought of the 18th-century political philosopher and essayist are examined in this outstanding program. Emphasis is on Rousseau`s critique of the inequities and shallowness of French society, and the new system he developed which promoted individual rights and a return to nature. Rousseau`s masterwork, The Social Contract, defined this philosophy and served as a major influence on French Revolutionary thought. Other aspects of Rousseau`s philosophical development include his early association with Diderot and the Encyclopedists, and later friendship with David Hume.""" Color. No Subtitles.
