To say that Rousseau has a low opinion of humanity is an understatement – he absolute despises the corrupting nature of humans and the effect upon the world around them. This is clearly summed up in his opening statement: God makes all things good; man meddles with them and they become evil. ...
This is how Rousseau, an 18th Century philosopher, opens his treatise on good government. The writing is not so much about a good form of government, but rather how government should run to be the best for the people. Of some of the ideas he proposes is that the law giver and the sovereign are two d...

La jeunesse est le temps d'étudier la sagesse; la vieillesse est le temps de la pratiquer.L'expérience instruit toujours, je l'avoue; mais elle ne profite que pour l'espace qu'on a devant soi. Est-il temps au moment qu'il faut mourir d'apprendre comment on aurait dû vivre?
قرأت -قديماً- قصة كانت تلازمني طوال قراءتي لهذا الكتاب -و إن كنت لم أجد لها سنداً- تقول:لما خرج فخر الدين الرازي من بيته في نيسابور، وصار يمشي في الشارع وخلفه أكثر من ثلاثمائة طالب من طلابه، وقفت عجوزٌ عند بابها فسألت أحد الطلبة: من هذا الملك؟! فقال: هذا ليس ملك، هذا الفخر الرازي الذي يعرف ألف دليل ...

One star does not mean this was tedious, dry or difficult. In fact this treatise is not long, is easy to understand and ...
2.5 StarsI read this as part of the readings required for a course called The Modern And The Postmodern on Coursera given by Weselyan University. It was a peculiar reading. When I read it first, I had a reaction similar to that of Voltaire when Rousseau sent him a manuscript of one of his later book...
Sad ending to a life obsessed too much with what others thought of him, or perhaps his own obsession with fame and being loved. Hard to say. I wish he would have walked quietly off into the sunset for five years and then died. It would have said more than this work did.
