The eighteenth-century fascination with Greek and Roman antiquity followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture, architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic operas, and more are also included. ++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Reproduction of the original: The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau by Jean Jacques Rousseau

Originally published in 1762, "The Social Contract" is Jean-Jacques Rousseau's treatise on how to best organize politics in the face of commercial society. Rousseau writes, "Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains." This statement exemplifies the main dilemma of government, that despite mankind having an inherent natural right to freedom, modern, especially autocratic, governments had gone too far in restricting it. The question which Rousseau is asking within this work is whether or not there can be a legitimate political authority, for as he observed, those of his time seemed to put mankind worse off than they were living by the state of nature which existed before civilization. Arguing against the concept of divine right, Rousseau asserts that true sovereignty exists only amongst the people as a whole. By a mutual agreement to a universal social contract mankind can be free equally as each and everyone agrees collectively to how their rights may be abridged and what societal duty may be placed upon them. The ideas of the "The Social Contract" form the basis for all modern democracies, making it one of the most influential political treatises ever written. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and includes an introduction by Edward L. Walter.

Inspired by ancient Greek city states, Rousseau searched for a way which states of his day could be equally representative Holding men in wretched subservience, feudalism-alongside religion-was a powerful force in the eighteenth century. Self-serving monarchic social systems, which collectively reduced common people to servitude, were now attacked by Enlightenment philosophers, of whom Rouseau was a leading light. His masterpiece, The Social Contract, profoundly influenced the subsequent development of society and remains provocative in a modern age of continuing widespread vested interest.

”Människan föds fri och överallt är hon i bojor”. Med dessa uppseendeväckande ord inleder Jean-Jacques Rousseau sin skrift Om Samhällsfördraget eller Statsrättens grunder (1762). Härmed slås det stora frihets- och frigörelsetemat an i europeiskt tänkande. Det gäller människans intellektuella, politiska och inte minst känslomässiga frigörelse. Som filosof och pedagog skapar Rousseau en avgörande utgångspunkt för den radikala jämlikhetstanke som via 1700-talets revolutioner i Nordamerika och Frankrike och 1800-talets successiva frigörelser från ståndssamhälle, förtryck och religiös intolerans leder fram till vår egen tids uppfattning om medborgarnas rättigheter och skyldigheter i demokratiska samhällen. Du contrat social översattes i sin helhet till svenska senast 1919. Med Jan Stolpe och Sven Åke Heeds nya översättning bör Rousseau kunna återta sin centrala position också i den svenska debatten om demokratins villkor. Inledning: Leif Lewin
