Jean-Jacques Rousseau, der grosse Philosoph der französischen Aufklärung, ist den meisten heute als Denker des ?Gesellschaftsvertrags? bekannt. Doch stellte er sich zeitlebens auch die scheinbar alltägliche Frage, was es heisst, gut zu leben. Als von der Gesellschaft Verstossener bewegte sich Rousseau jenseits der bürgerlichen Vorstellungen vom guten Leben; daher beschäftigte er sich gerade in seinem Spätwerk intensiv mit dieser Frage. Die ausgewählten und kommentierten Passagen schaffen Einblicke in seine ?Kunst zu leben? und machen dabei die Grundsteine Rousseau?schen Denkens zugänglich. (Verlagstext)

The Social Contract, Rousseau's most comprehensive political work - he called it a 'small treatise' - was condemned on publication by both the civil and the ecclesiastical authorities in France as well as in Geneva, and warrants for its author's arrest were issued. Rousseau was forced to flee and it is during this period that he wrote some of his autobiographical works.
