This etext was produced by David Widger
"Widger's Quotations from Project Gutenberg Edition of The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau" is a curated selection of notable passages from Jean Jacques Rousseau's seminal autobiographical work, "The Confessions." This collection, edited by David Widger, serves as a guide and reference tool for readers interested in Rousseau's thoughts and reflections. The original work was written in the 18th century during the Enlightenment period, a time characterized by a focus on reason, individualism, and a questioning of traditional authority. The likely topic of the book revolves around Rousseau’s life experiences, personal philosophy, and the exploration of human nature. The quotations capture essential themes from Rousseau's confessions, blending insights into his inner thoughts with broader observations about society and human relationships. Through various excerpts, the book illustrates Rousseau's struggles with his identity, his feelings of solitude and admiration for others, and his critiques of social norms and education. The selections reflect his profound sense of introspection and vulnerability, highlighting the emotional and psychological landscapes he navigated throughout his life. This collection serves as an accessible entry point for those wishing to engage with Rousseau's profound reflections without delving into the entirety of his original text.
