Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents Rousseau's correspondence with Leonard Usteri, a Swiss pastor and admirer from Zurich. The letters, written between 1761 and 1765, reveal the warmth of their friendship, their shared interest in education, literature, and philosophy, as well as Rousseau's tumultuous life in exile after the publication of Emile and The Social Contract. Scholars will be particularly interested in Usteri's eyewitness account of Rousseau's visit to Geneva, the nuances of their discourse on topics such as the importance of virtue and the search for truth, and the influence of Christian ideals on Rousseau's social and religious thought. Delving into the intellectual climate of the period, the book sheds light on the passions, ideals, and tensions that animated Swiss and French thinkers of the Enlightenment. Collected by Usteri's descendants and scholars, these letters provide a unique glimpse into the mind of one of history's most influential philosophers, offering insights into his personal struggles and beliefs.
