One of the most intriguing philosophers of the Enlightenment was Jean-Jacques Rousseau. As we learn about his assertions and contradictions, Rabbi Rocklin will touch on the following questions:

  1. In what sense is Rousseau at least partly responsible for the invention of the child?
  2. According to Rousseau, why is society fundamental to the individual?
  3. How can Rousseau, an Enlightenment thinker, be considered a Romantic?
