This is a new release of the original 1923 edition.

Rousseau et la lecture est un livre collectif, fruit d'un séminaire de l'Equipe J.-J. Rousseau anime par Tanguy L'Aminot à l'Université de Paris IV-Sorbonne. Compose d'une vingtaine d'articles, il se propose d'examiner le rapport que Jean-Jacques Rousseau a entretenu avec les livres, la littérature, la philosophie, la science et l'esthétique de son temps.Plus que les sources de son oeuvre ce qui est analyse ici, c'est le dialogue qui s'établit dans les écrits de Jean-Jacques avec un ou plusieurs auteurs ou avec un sujet particulier, Celui qui dans l'Emile déclarait haïr tous les livres, s'est révélé un lecteur étonnant, au fait de la pensée et de l'art sous leurs aspects les plus divers. Les auteurs de ce recueil se sont donc demande non seulement quels étaient les ouvrages qui avaient marqué Rousseau et quelle valeur ou quel intérêt présentait telle ou telle lecture pour lui, mais aussi comment Rousseau souhaitait être lu lui-meme. Lire apparaît comme un véritable révélateur de tout l'être et peut avoir des conséquences funestes ou perverses dont il convient de se prémunir. En aucun cas, chez Rousseau, la lecture n'est un rite innocent ou gratuit. Quatre études présentent d'ailleurs quelques-unes des lectures qui ont été faites de Rousseau depuis sa mort. De Sade à Jean Starobinski, Pierre Burgelin, Jacques Derrida, Paul de Man et au lecteur ordinaire des années 1980, on peut apprécier les multiples portraits qui ont été faits d'un auteur qui tenait à ce qu'on le voit, le lise et le comprenne à sa façon. Rousseau qui avait lu Leibniz, Spinoza ou Helvétius selon son coeur et son système, n'etait-il pas a son tour victime de la trahison de ses lecteurs? Mais lire, ne serait-ce pas avant tout trahir, traduire et contredire celui qui est lu? Le conduire au-delà de lui dans l'univers d'autrui?

A survey of 25 major European novelists from Cervantes to Kundera, highlighting their contributions to the genre.

This contribution to the global history of ideas uses biographical profiles of 18th-century contemporaries to find what Salafist and Sufi Islam, Evangelical Protestant and Jansenist Catholic Christianity, and Hasidic Judaism have in common. Such figures include Muḥammad Ibn abd al-Waḥhab, Count Nikolaus Zinzendorf, Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Israel Ba’al Shem Tov. The book is a unique and comprehensive study of the conflicted relationship between the “evangelical” movements in all three Abrahamic religions and the ideas of the Enlightenment and Counter-Enlightenment. Centered on the 18th century, the book reaches back to the third century for precedents and context, and forward to the 21st for the legacy of these movements. This text appeals to students and researchers in many fields, including Philosophy and Religion, their histories, and World History, while also appealing to the interested lay reader.

Based on his doctrine of natural goodness, Rousseau intended the Confessions as a testing ground to explore his belief that, as Christopher Kelly writes, "people are to be measured by the depth and nature of their feelings." Re-created here in a meticulously documented new translation based on the definitive Pléiade edition, the work represents Rousseau's attempt to forge connections among his beliefs, his feelings, and his life. More than a "behind-the-scenes look at the private life of a public man," Kelly writes, "the Confessions is at the center of Rousseau's philosophical enterprise."

'Informative and persuasive enough to rouse the most ardent couch pototo' New Scientist Walking upright on two feet is a uniquely human skill. It defines us as a species. It enabled us to walk out of Africa and to spread as far as Alaska and Australia. It freed our hands and freed our minds. We put one foot in front of the other without thinking - yet how many of us know how we do that, or appreciate the advantages it gives us? In this hymn to walking, neuroscientist Shane O'Mara invites us to marvel at the benefits it confers on our bodies and minds, and urges us to appreciate - and exercise - our miraculous ability. Take this mindful approach to walking into the new year. 'Will leave you itching to go out for a good old-fashioned stroll' Mail on Sunday *A Sunday Independent Book of the Week*
