(Jean-Jacques) Rousseau, Jean Jacques The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau — Volume 09 Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confessions_(Rousseau) Produced by David Widger "The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau — Volume 09" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau is a philosophical autobiographical work composed during the late 18th century. The book reflects Rousseau's introspections and personal experiences as he navigates conflicting desires for solitude and social connection, exploring themes of love, friendship, and personal development. Rousseau emerges as the central figure, recounting his struggles with societal expectations, personal ambitions, and the intricate relationships he has with various individuals in his life. At the start of this volume, Rousseau reveals his yearning for a quiet and simple life at his newly acquired hermitage, contrasting it with the noisy, extravagant societal life he feels alienated from. He discusses his heavy ambivalence towards solitude despite his strong inclination for it, as he reflects on his previous years and the trials he has faced due to public scrutiny and friendship demands. The narrative prepares the ground for Rousseau's exploration of the complexities of his emotional ties—particularly remarking on his connections with women and friends—setting up an introspective journey that delves into his idealism and the challenges that come with it.
