Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Date of Birth:

28-Jun-1712

Nationality:

Switzerland

Profession:

Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) was a Swiss-born French philosopher. His most powerful political career was the Civil Treaty (1762) - which promoted the pleasures of the most popular republicanism. His philosophy had a direct bearing on the French and American Revolution. Rousseau was an outspoken thinker who challenged the religious and political ideas of the day. Because of his controversial religious beliefs, his activities were repeatedly banned, and he sought exile in various European countries. He was also an artist and a lover of nature - because of his freedom of spirit and thought, he is considered an influential figure in European Enlightenment and a forerunner of Romanticism.

I am not made like any of those I have seen. I venture to believe that I am not made like any of those who are in existence. If I am not better, at least I am different.
