Writer, musician, and philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, born June - TopicsExpress



          

Writer, musician, and philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, born June 28, 1712, is always associated with the French Enlightenment period, although he was born in Switzerland. His name is indivisible from the values of the French Revolution: liberty, equality, and fraternity. He advanced such radical ideas as rights for the disenfranchised, and the importance of a sound character as preeminent over a good education. Rousseau could be termed an early environmentalist in his respect for nature and his warnings about progress at any cost.
