Emile

Focusing on Rousseau's "Emile," this concluding volume of The Collected Writings offers a deep exploration of themes like happiness, citizenship, and gender relations, engaging critically with philosophers such as Locke and Plato. It features Allan Bloom's newly edited translation, complete with cross-references, alongside the first-ever translation of the "Favre Manuscript," which is the initial draft of "Emile." Additionally, a new translation of "Emile and Sophie, or the Solitaries" is included, enriching the reader's understanding of Rousseau's influential ideas.
