More about the book

The book explores Rousseau's concept of 'beneficence' in relationships between unequals, questioning the feasibility of just and generous connections. Judith Still examines interconnected themes in Rousseau's work, including state dynamics, individual relations, and the construction of feminine identity. By employing literary theory techniques, she highlights contradictions in Rousseau's ethics, arguing that sexual difference disrupts beneficence. The analysis reveals Rousseau's blend of Enlightenment rationality and emotional depth, reflecting his complex views on gender within his political theory.
