Born in Geneva, Rousseau's tumultuous early life shaped his profound reflections on human nature, freedom, and society. His seminal works, including "The Social Contract" and "Emile, or On Education," challenge the conventions of his time, advocating for the inherent goodness of man and the corrupting influence of society. Rousseau’s legacy endures, influencing revolutionary movements and the evolution of modern democracy.
