Sinopsis

In 'The Greatest Works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau', readers are presented with a collection of the notable works by the 18th-century philosopher and writer. Rousseau's literary style is characterized by his eloquent prose and profound philosophical insights on topics such as society, education, and the nature of man. His works, including 'Confessions' and 'Emile', are considered essential reading for those interested in the Enlightenment period and the development of political thought. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Rousseau's ideas and their influence on Western philosophy and political theory. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a prominent figure in the Age of Enlightenment, was known for his progressive views on education and the social contract. His personal experiences and observations of society inspired him to write extensively on topics related to human nature and the state of nature. Rousseau's writings continue to be highly regarded for their originality and impact on subsequent thinkers. I highly recommend 'The Greatest Works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau' to readers who are interested in exploring the philosophical foundations of modern political theory and the writings of one of the most influential thinkers of the Enlightenment. This collection provides valuable insights into Rousseau's intellectual legacy and enduring relevance.

Living Room Revolution - A...

Cecile Andrews

The author of The Circle of Simplicity “joyfully invites us to discover a robust and real personal expansion with each other as we remake our society” (Mark Lakeman, cofounder, The City Repair Project).

Every man for himself! For too long we have lived in a competitive, consumer-oriented culture, destroying the well-being of people and the planet. We believe that money brings happiness, yet all too often, the opposite is true. The pursuit of wealth at any cost corrupts our values and diminishes our lives. The resulting inequality breaks down social cohesion and generates envy, bitterness, and resentment. Greed breeds more greed.

Living Room Revolution refutes the notion that selfishness is at the root of human nature. Research shows that people—given the right circumstances—can be caring, nurturing and collaborative. Presented with the opportunity, they gravitate toward actions and policies embodying empathy, fairness, and trust instead of competition, fear, and greed. The regeneration of social ties and the sense of caring and purpose that comes from creating community drive this essential transformation.

At the heart of this movement is the ancient art of conversation. Living Room Revolution provides a practical toolkit of concrete strategies to facilitate personal and social change by bringing people together in community and conversation.

The heart of happiness is joining with others in good talk and laughter. Each person can make a difference, and it can all start in your own living room!

“Small groups. Study circles. Stop ’n chats. House parties. Movie nights. Online sharing. Bring people together, and you never know what kind of fuse you’ll ignite for change.” —Wanda Urbanska, author of The Heart of Simple Living
