Autorenporträt
Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a Genevan philosopher (philosopher), author, and composer who lived from June 28, 1712, to July 2, 1778. Along with elements of the French Revolution and the advancement of contemporary political, economic, and educational thought, his political theory affected the development of the Age of Enlightenment throughout Europe. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, an influential 18th-century philosopher and writer, penned "The Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau," a notable autobiographical work that explores the author's personal experiences, beliefs, and reflections. Throughout the work, Rousseau not only recounts his life but also offers philosophical musings on topics such as human nature, society, and the nature of truth. He explores themes of identity, authenticity, and the tension between societal expectations and personal freedom.¿
