JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU
LA PARTIE DE CAMPAGNE ET LE PACTE SOCIAL
Keywords:
Rousseau, Émile, banquet, utopia, social contract
Abstract
This article reproduces the text of the lectio magistralis pronounced by Jean Starobinski in 2008 when the University of Naples « L’Orientale » awarded him with an Honoris Causa degree in « Philosophy, Politics, Communication ». The critic engages in the interpretation of a splendid page of the Émile, bringing out some fundamental constants of Rousseau's thought and imagination through the comparison with similar passages of the Contrat social, of the Discours de inégalité, of the Nouvelle Héloïse and of the Lettre à D’Alembert.
