johnaggreyodera 's review for:
Confessions
by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I think the best thing about Confessions is the context it gives, which then helps our understanding of Rousseau’s ideas. I think the lives of philosophers (and thinkers generally) are remarkably understudied, and I think it would be much more useful to us in understanding ideas if we gave as much thought to the social, political and emotional Milieus that gave rise to those ideas as to the ideas themselves.
