      The exploration of imposture in Rousseau's works reveals it as a fundamental aspect of power, according to philosopher Serge Margel. He delves into how Rousseau perceives imposture not merely as deceit for personal gain but as a central theme in his writings, including the Discourses, Confessions, and Emile. Margel's analysis sheds light on the philosophical implications of imposture and its role in understanding human behavior and societal structures.
