This is a short and very readable book about the relationship of Hume and Rousseau. I'd love to have some psychiatric clinicians get out their DMSOs and diagnose Rousseau, who clearly had some issues. The book is insightful about the struggles and sufferings of the skeptics and philosophers at odds with th European status quo during the Enlightenment. Rousseau seemed to revel in suffering as much from the figments of his imagination as from the political and social realities of his lifetime. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The rise and spectacular fall of the friendship between the two great philosophers of the eighteenth century, barely six months after they first met, reverberated on both sides of the Channel. As the relationship between Jean-Jacques Rousseau and David Hume unraveled, a volley of rancorous letters was fired off, then quickly published and devoured by aristocrats, intellectuals, and common readers alike. Everyone took sides in this momentous dispute between the greatest of Enlightenment thinkers.In this lively and revealing book, Robert Zaretsky and John T. Scott explore the unfolding rift between Rousseau and Hume. The authors are particularly fascinated by the connection between the thinkers' lives and thought, especially the way that the failure of each to understand the other-and himself-illuminates the limits of human understanding. In addition, they situate the philosophers' quarrel in the social, political, and intellectual milieu that informed their actions, as well as the actions of the other participants in the dispute, such as James Boswell, Adam Smith, and Voltaire. By examining the conflict through the prism of each philosopher's contribution to Western thought, Zaretsky and Scott reveal the implications for the two men as individuals and philosophers as well as for the contemporary world.
