I ended up agreeing a lot with Rousseau on specific logical strands regarding the mechanics of the invention of human society, though his more general views of "natural" and "civilized" humanity are far less nuanced/developed. While the general conceit is stuck in the past, many pieces of inference and analysis would still be of great (or even greater) use to modern society.
