Confessions & Emile Kindle Edition

by Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Author), Barbara Foxley (Translator), Samuel William Orson (Translator) Format: Kindle Edition
3.2 3.2 out of 5 stars 3 ratings
See all formats and editions
Jean-Jacques Rousseau's 'Confessions & Emile' is a groundbreaking work that defies traditional autobiographical norms and pedagogical principles. In 'Confessions', Rousseau provides readers with a candid account of his life, reflecting on his personal experiences, beliefs, and flaws with brutal honesty. Meanwhile, 'Emile' offers a radical approach to education, emphasizing the importance of nurturing individuality and natural instincts in children rather than imposing conventional societal norms. Rousseau's eloquent prose and deep philosophical insights make these works a cornerstone of Romantic literature, challenging readers to reconsider their own beliefs and perceptions of self and education. This dual exploration of personal growth and educational philosophy showcases Rousseau's unique perspective on human nature and societal constructs, leaving a lasting impact on readers across generations. Recommended for those interested in personal introspection, educational theory, and the evolution of philosophical thought.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it, get the free one
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2013
The book is marvelous. But I don't recommend this paid "annotated" version. This edition has a functional TOC, but it features NO annotations or footnotes whatsoever... There is an essay on Rousseau attached at the end, and that is pretty much about it! The essay is not even on The Confessions per se, but on Rousseau in general, his other works, his political theory etc. It was written in 1905 (yes, it is dated) and it was taken from this $1 book by William Archibald Dunning (how is that for a 500% profit?):

http://www.amazon.com/History-Political-Theories-Rousseau-ebook/product-reviews/B00A3HQWA2/ref=sr_1_1_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1)

I don't know how useful the TOC would be anyhow - it only navigates to the 12 large parts ("books") comprising the work - since there are no smaller chapters or sections. So to me shelling $5 just for the TOC and the Dunning essay is definitely not worth it. I have a free Kindle edition, and with the saved $5 will buy another book!
