From the publisher

Listening closely to the religious pitch in Rousseau's voice, Cladis convincingly shows that Rousseau, when attempting to portray the most characteristic aspects of the public and private, reached for a religious vocabulary. Honoring both love of self and love of that which is larger than the self--these twin poles, with all the tension between them--mark Rousseau's work, vision and challenge--the challenge of 21st-century democracy.

First line

Insofar as there is something we care to call Western consciousness, there is a pattern of thought etched on to it that is seemingly ineluctable.

Description:
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Oxford University Press, 2003. First Edition. Hard Cover. As New/As New. This book explores the nature and place of the public and the private in the work of Rousseau, who forged a vision of human happiness located not exclusively in private or public life but in a combination of the two; it places Rousseau at the crossroads of Enlightenment optimism and Augustinian pessimism in that he believed humans were able to transform their societies humanely but also perceived them to be destined for immense suffering unless they could avoid social involvement (black covers with silver lettering on spine; light blue dust jacket with black & white lettering; a bright, clean, tight copy)
