| Course Description | This seminar is the third in a series on the history of modern conceptions of the self. Other figures in the series include Montaigne, Pascal, and Tocqueville. This seminar focuses on Rousseau, and in particular Emile, his treatise on education and psychology. We will pay particular attention to how he draws from both Montaigne and Pascal to develop a third conception of the self and its development. We also examine Reveries of a Solitary Walker to see how Rousseau’s general theory of the self relates to his understanding of himself at the end of his life. |
