Rousseau, Julie Ultra

Product Information
To inspire the thinker, this unique journal features an excerpt of an original manuscript by Jean Jacques Rousseau, a major French philosopher, writer, and composer of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, whose political philosophy influenced the French Revolution and the development of modern political and educational thought.

Rousseau's 800-page sentimental novel, Julie, ou la nouvelle Héloïse, was published in 1761 to immense success. The book's rhapsodic descriptions of the natural beauty of the Swiss countryside struck a chord in the public and may have helped spark the subsequent nineteenth century craze for Alpine scenery. The novel incorporates a philosophical theory about authenticity and illustrates that you should only do what society asks of you when it's in agreement with the principles and feelings which constitute your core identity. Acting inauthentically is self-destructive.
