Things to consider in Rousseau
In no particular order, and with no particular theme:
- Humanity defined as pure potentiality, ateleological perfectibilité.
- The absolute interdependence of morality and immorality, freedom and slavery, etc.
- Psychology replaces history—genealogy of morals performed psychologically.
- Accumulation is self-inflicted suffering, self-inflicted bondage.
- “Locke’s was the individualism of the strong, Rousseau’s the individualism of the weak” (Judith Shklar, Men and Citizens, p. 41).
- Real equality never exists, since as soon as people stand in relation to each other, there is already inequality.
