Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the genesis of a false reputation which was deliberately constructed for the author, Jean-Jacques Rousseau. It argues that a conspiracy was engineered by two of Rousseau's acquaintances, the writer Denis Diderot, and the German literary critic, Friedrich Melchior von Grimm. This book delves into the events and machinations that led to the creation of this false reputation and analyzes the methods used by Diderot and Grimm to systematically spread discredit through the circulation of fabricated stories, malicious gossip, and false accusations. Through a careful examination of the historical record and the author's own writings, this book sheds new light on the relationship between Rousseau and his alleged conspirators, unmasking the personal motivations and jealousies that drove them to destroy his reputation. In doing so, this book offers a fresh perspective on the enduring legacy of Rousseau's ideas and the enduring power of reputation to shape our understanding of historical figures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331628651_0
