About the Author

Born in 1712 in Geneva, Jean-Jacques Rousseau came to Paris in 1741.  There he won lasting recognition for his ideas, his literary art, and for the legend that soon surrounded him.  Despite enemies and persecutions, he became one of the most influential political theorists of all time.
