ISBN: 0874515807 ISBN-13: 9780874515800 Publisher: Dartmouth College Press OUR PRICE: $61.75 Product Type: Hardcover Published: August 1992 Annotation: Contains the entire First Discourse, contemporary attacks on it, Rousseau's replies to his critics, and his summary of the debate in his preface to Narcissus. A number of these texts have never before been available in English. The First Discourse and Polemics demonstrate the continued relevance of Rousseau's thought. Whereas his critics argue for correction of the excesses and corruptions of knowledge and the sciences as sufficient, Rousseau attacks the social and political effects of the dominant forms of scientific knowledge. |
