Emile
Alan Bloom’s new translation of Emile, Rousseau’s masterpiece on the education and training of the young, is the first in more than seventy years. In it, Bloom, whose magnificent translation of Plato’s Republic has been universally hailed as a virtual rediscovery of that timeless text, again brings together the translator’s gift for journeying between two languages and cultures and the philosopher’s perception of the true meaning and significance of the issues being examined in the work. The result is a clear, readable, and highly engrossing text that at the same time offers a wholly new sense of the importance and relevance of Rousseau’s thought to us.In addition to his translation, Bloom provides a brilliant introduction that relates the structure and themes of the book to the vital preoccupation's of our own age, particularly in the field of education, but also more generally to the current concerns about the limits and possibilities of human nature. Thus in this translation Emile, long a classic in the history of Western thought and educational theory, becomes something more: a prescription, fresh and dazzling, for the bringing up of autonomous, responsible—that is, truly democratic—human beings.
Discourse on the Origin of Inequality
Donald Cress's highly regarded translation, based on the critical Pleiade edition of 1964, is here issued with a lively introduction by James Miller, who brings into sharp focus the cultural and intellectual milieu in which Rousseau operated. This new edition includes a select bibliography, a note on the text, a translator's note, and Rousseau's own Notes on the Discourse.
Letter to D'Alembert and Writings for the Theater
"In 1758, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Jean Le Rond d'Alembert began an argument that would produce one of the most important philosophical discussions on the political importance of the arts . . . and sparked a series of letters between the two leading figures of the Enlightenment, one whose debate over the position of women and censorship versus high culture would polarize contemporary philosophers and social theorists. These letters are printed for the first time in this edition."--Translation Review "Rousseau's work belongs on the very short list of the most important reflections on the nature, function, and value of literature ever produced by a philosopher. Certainly every respectable library and every philosopher with an interest in Rousseau will want to possess this volume." --The Review of Metaphysics

Reveries of the Solitary Walker
'These hours of solitude and meditation are the only time of the day when I am completely myself' Reveries of the Solitary Walker is Rousseau's last great work, the product of his final years of exile from the society that condemned his political and religious views. Returning to Paris the philosopher determines to keep a faithful record of the thoughts and ideas that come to him on his perambulations. Part reminiscence, part reflection, enlivened by anecdote and encounters, the Reveries form a kind of sequel to his Confessions, but they are more introspective and less defensive: Rousseau finds happiness in solitude, walks in nature, botanizing, and meditation. Writing an account of his walks becomes a means of achieving self-knowledge and safeguarding for himself the pleasure that others, he is convinced, seek to deny him. The Reveries, shaped by the unmediated nature of Rousseau's thought processes, give powerfully lyrical expression to a painfully tortured soul in search of peace. This new translation is accompanied by an introduction and notes that explore the nature of the work and its historical, literary, and intellectual contexts.

Julie, or the New Heloise
An elegant translation of one of the most popular novels of its time. Rousseau's great epistolary novel, Julie, or the New Heloise, has been virtually unavailable in English since 1810. In it, Rousseau reconceptualized the relationship of the individual to the collective and articulated a new moral paradigm. The story follows the fates and smoldering passions of Julie d'Etange and St. Preux, a one-time lover who re-enters Julie's life at the invitation of her unsuspecting husband, M. de Wolmar. The complex tones of this work made it a commercial success and a continental sensation when it first appeared in 1761, and its embodiment of Rousseau's system of thought, in which feelings and intellect are intertwined, redefined the function and form of fiction for decades. As the characters negotiate a complex maze of passion and virtue, their purity of soul and honest morality reveal, as Rousseau writes in his preface, "the subtleties of heart of which this work is full." A comprehensive introduction and careful annotations make this novel accessible to contemporary readers, both as an embodiment of Rousseau's philosophy and as a portrayal of the tension and power inherent in domestic life.
Reveries of the Solitary Walker (Penguin Classics) 一个孤独的散步者的梦
After a period of forced exile and solitary wandering brought about by his radical views on religion and politics, Jean-Jacques Rousseau returned to Paris in 1770. Here, in the last two years of his life, he wrote his final work, "The Reveries." In this eloquent masterpiece the great political thinker describes his sense of isolation from a society he felt had rejected his writings - and the manner in which he has come to terms with his alienation, as he walks around Paris, gazing at plants, day-dreaming and finding comfort in the virtues of solitude and the natural world. Meditative, amusing and lyrical, this is a fascinating exploration of Rousseau's thought as he looks back over his life, searching to justify his actions, to defend himself against his critics and to elaborate upon his philosophy.让-雅克·卢梭是十八世纪法国杰出的思想家、文学家，十九世纪浪漫主义文学的先驱。本书为其重要代表作之一。这是卢梭与自己心灵的对话，是对心灵的自我解剖。它真实地再现了处于纯真状态中的卢梭形象——真诚，淳朴，睿智，热爱自然。卢梭以浓厚的笔墨向我们表述了他对孩子的喜爱之情、对敌人的仇恨之情、回忆往事所油然而生的喜悦之情、对虚伪阴险之人的鄙视之情以及对幸福、和谐生活的渴望之情等诸多的真情实感。这是卢梭与自己心灵的对话，是对心灵的自我解剖。它真实地再现了处于纯真状态中的卢梭形象——真诚，淳朴，睿智，热爱自然。卢梭以浓厚的笔墨向我们表述了他对孩子的喜爱之情、对敌人的仇恨之情、回忆往事所油然而生的喜悦之情、对虚伪阴险之人的鄙视之情以及对幸福、和谐生活的渴望之情等诸多的真情实感。
