What to expect

In the great ferment of the French Revolution, Voltaire and Rousseau stood out as intellectual giants. Voltaire’s incisive wit and commitment to translucent reason stands in sharp contrast to Rousseau’s earnest convictions and attention to emotion. Both thinkers produced work of enduring value in morality and political philosophy.
