In Émile Rousseau poses an entirely new approach to education and the upbringing of children. His thoughts were exceedingly controversial the work was burnt by the executioner immediately after its first appearance and Rousseau had to flee the country due to a warrant for his arrest. The printing history of "Émile" is extremely complicated and has been a matter of intense dispute for many decades. Until Maceachern's bibliography from 1989 the edition that has now been established as the "Second Paris octavo" MacEachern 4A was generally considered the first printing of the work but there is no longer any dispute about the fact that the present edition is in fact the actual first 1A. The first edition appeared in both 8vo1A and 12mo1B and it seems to be generally accepted that the 8vo-edition was distributed first but that parts of the 12mo-edition may have been in printing a bit earlier. Rousseau himself seems to have preferred the 8vo-edition and wished for his great work to appear as this form first "The question of the format gave rise to some dissension for while Rousseau felt that the work was more suited to the octavo format Duchesne preferred to print a duodecimo and only a limited number of the more expensive octavo. Rousseau finally agreed to Duchesne's plan with reluctance declaring that in his opinion Duchesne was committing an error of judgment and that the octavo would certainly be the more sought after of the two formats." - MacEachern pp. 18-19. Rousseau himself was more involved in the coming-to-be of "Émile" than perhaps any other author has been in any other book. Throughout the entire process there were a large number of misunderstandings between himself and Duchene which more than once endangered the printing and publishing of this seminal work and which has contributed greatly to the extremely complicated bibliographical data of it. In fact up until very late in the process Rousseau did not believe that the work was actually going to be finished and it took several instances of mediation between the two to keep the work on tracks. Finally however the work was a reality and with it one of the greatest works of Western culture had been born.Rousseau's "Émile" constitutes the most significant modern treatise on the education of man surpassed only by Plato's "Republic". The comparison with Plato is all the more apt seeing that both works grow out of and are meant to remedy lacunae in the political philosophy of their authors.The conclusion to Rousseau's work on the social contract also written during Rousseau's stay in Montmorency had pointed to a predicament of political thought: that only if man were himself naturally inclined to freedom could he make use of political freedom. "Émile" is the analysis of the conditions under which a child can develop into a free human being. As such it presents the conclusion to Rousseau's earlier works on inequality political freedom and servitude.The paradox of Émile is that while the development of human nature must be natural if the child is to develop into a free human being steering that development in the right - that is free - direction requires constant intervention which moreover must be hidden from the child. Rousseau details this intervention in his analysis of the five stages in the education of the child covering the period from birth to the age of 25.Being one of the most influential thinkers of the 18th century Rousseau is considered one of the indirect causes of the French Revolution. In Rousseau one certainly finds one of the most influential spokesmen for 18th century thought and it is primarily the thoughts of him and Voltaire that are put into action with the Revolution."The first and last of these i.e. Héloise and Émile with their sentimental expression of deism gave much offence and Rousseau like Voltaire was forced to flee to Prussia. Restless and locally unpopular he fled again to England where he had a great welcome. Hume who had offered him asylum looked after him patiently." PMM 207 Printing and the Mind of Man.The totalitarian tendency of Rousseau's philosophy of education has been noted by a number of philosophers in recent times most famously Karl Popper.McEachern: 1A </em> unknown

His political philosophy influenced the progress of the Age of Enlightenment throughout Europe as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the development of modern political economic and educational thought.<br /> <br /> Rousseau's Discourse on Inequality which argues that private property is the source of inequality and The Social Contract which outlines the basis for a legitimate political order are cornerstones in modern political and social thought. Rousseau's sentimental novel Julie or the New Heloise 1761 was important to the development of preromanticism and romanticism in fiction. His Émile or On Education 1762 is an educational treatise on the place of the individual in society. Rousseau's autobiographical writings—the posthumously published Confessions completed in 1770 which initiated the modern autobiography and the unfinished Reveries of the Solitary Walker composed 1776–1778—exemplified the late 18th-century "Age of Sensibility" and featured an increased focus on subjectivity and introspection that later characterized modern writing.

Exceptionally rare in a contemporary binding. "The Contrat Social remains Rousseau's greatest work. Rousseau believed passionately in what he wrote and when in 1789 a similar emotion was released on a national scale the Contract Social came into its own as the bible of the revolutionaries in building their ideal state. Still in print translated into every language in cheap editions and paperbacks it remains a crucial document of egalitarian government" Printing and the Mind of Man 270 discussing the 1762 first edition. Written in 1762 Rousseau's seminal work provided a philosophical justification for revolutionary change by promoting the principles of popular sovereignty the general will equality liberty and political participation. Rousseau argued that legitimate political authority comes from the consent of the governed rather than from divine right or hereditary monarchy. This idea inspired French revolutionaries to demand a government that represented the will of the people. Upon publication the distribution of The Social Contract in France was prohibited and Rousseau fled the country to avoid imprisonment. It was primarily Rousseau's chapter on civil religion rather than his ideas on liberty and sovereignty that caused the controversy. Immanuel Kant one of the most influential moral philosophers in Western philosophy acknowledged his debt to Rousseau's work in political philosophy of which The Social Contract is perhaps the closest to a complete statement. Kant wrote “I myself am a researcher by inclination. I feel the entire thirst for cognition and the eager restlessness to proceed further in it as well as the satisfaction at every acquisition. There was a time when I believed this alone could constitute the honour of humankind and I despised the rabble who knows nothing. Rousseau has set me right. This blinding prejudice vanishes I learn to honour human beings and I would feel by far less useful than the common labourer if I did not believe that this consideration could impart a value to all others in order to establish the rights of humanity†Refl. 20:44. Marc Michel Rey paperback
1762187978Amsterdam: Marc Michel Rey 1762. Developing the social contract First edition of the definitive version of Rousseau's greatest work a potent influence on liberal republican and French revolutionary thinking. Where Rousseau's Second Discourse 1755 explained how people had lost their liberty in the past the Principes considered how they might recover it in the future. The work develops the model of a government made legitimate by following the general will of its subjects. In so doing it tackles the problem of securing political co-operation among people with separate wills. The concept of the general will followed as an artificially constructed pledge to dissolve individual natural rights. Shortly after the printing had begun Rousseau requested that the title page vignette of Justice be replaced by one of Liberty and that the 24-line note on civil marriage on page 324 be excised completely for fear of French censors. He also judged the title page too crowded hence the transposition of the first part of the title "Du Contract Social" to a separate half-title. Bound after Rousseau's work is the Profession de foi du vicaire Chrétien Berlin: Chez Jean Neaulme 1764 by Johann Heinrich Samuel Formey 1711-1797 a key figure in the German Enlightenment and a committed opponent of Rousseau 2 works bound in 1 vol. octavo 199 x 119 mm pp. iv viii 324; pp. viii 144 14.
