Abstract:
This book examines the concept of human alienation as it is depicted in the writings of Rousseau, who considered life in civil society to be antithetical to man's true, solitary nature. A complete understanding of man's estrangement from himself and from those around him - a concept made popular in the works of Marx and others - requires an examination of the concept's earlier treatment by Rousseau
