De Man elaborated a distinct deconstruction in his philosophically-oriented literary criticism of Romanticism, both English Romanticism and German Romanticism, with particular attention to William Wordsworth, John Keats, Maurice Blanchot, Marcel Proust, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Friedrich Nietzsche, Immanuel Kant, G. W. F.

Although serious doubts were raised about the Enlightenment prior to the 1790s ( e. g. in the works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau in France and J. G. Hamann in Germany in particular ), the Reign of Terror during the French revolution fueled a major reaction against the Enlightenment, which many writers blamed for undermining traditional beliefs that sustained the ancien regime, thereby fomenting revolution.

Tel Quel was influenced by a number of revolutionary writers who intended to drastically criticize the conditions of their time, such as Immanuel Kant, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, G. W. F. Hegel, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, Vladimir Lenin, Friedrich Nietzsche, Franz Kafka, Antonin Artaud, Comte de Lautréamont, Georges Bataille, James Joyce, Jacques Lacan.

Berlin contended that under the influence of Plato, Aristotle, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Immanuel Kant and G. W. F. Hegel, modern political thinkers often conflated positive liberty with rational action, based upon a rational knowledge to which, it is argued, only a certain elite or social group has access.

Yet, after Rousseau had given the social contract a new twist with his notion of the General Will, the same philosophy, it may be said, became the idea source of the French Revolution also.

Rousseau is so persuasive that Voltaire is almost convinced that he should burn his books, too.

Immediately after dinner, however, Rousseau asks for still another favor.

Such was the impromptu that Voltaire gave to howls of laughter at Sans Souci and that was soon circulated in manuscript throughout the literary circles of Europe, to be printed sometime later, but with the name of Timon of Athens, the famous misanthrope, substituted for that of Rousseau.

Ever since he had first begun to study music and to teach it, Rousseau had dreamed of piercing through to fame as the result of a successful opera.

But then one day, while on a week's visit to the country home of a retired Swiss jeweler, Rousseau amused the company with a few little melodies he had written, to which he attached no great importance.

Rousseau was aware that he must seem like a hypocrite, standing there and arguing that he could not possibly permit a public performance.

Rousseau had to admit that though he couldn't agree to a public performance, he would indeed, just for his own private satisfaction, dearly love to know how his work would sound when done by professional musicians and by trained voices.

Rousseau agreed.

Duclos understood what was bothering Rousseau: that the writer of the Prosopopoeia of Fabricius should now become known as the writer of an amusing little operetta.

To that Rousseau could agree.

And thus torn between his desire to be known as the composer of a successful opera and the necessity of remaining true to his proclaimed desire for anonymity, Rousseau suffered through several painful weeks.

All these emotions were screwed up to new heights when, after acceptance and the first rehearsals, there ensued such a buzz of excitement among Parisian music lovers that Duclos had to come running to Rousseau to inform him that the news had reached the superintendent of the King's amusements, and that he was now demanding that the work be offered first at the royal summer palace of Fontainebleau.

And listening to such a conversation one morning while taking a cup of chocolate in a cafe, Rousseau found himself bathed in perspiration, trembling lest his authorship become known, and at the same time dreaming of the startling effect he would make if he should proclaim himself suddenly as the composer.

`` I'm dressed as I always am '', Rousseau said.

`` If they are here, then surely I have the right to be here '', Rousseau said.

Rousseau asked.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau of Geneva was the first of many to present the Alps as a place of allure and beauty, banishing the prevalent conception of the mountains as a hellish wasteland inhabited by demons.

Jean-Jacques Ampère, a successful merchant, was an admirer of the philosophy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, whose theories of education ( as outlined in his treatise Émile ) were the basis of Ampère ’ s education.

Rousseau believed that young boys should avoid formal schooling and pursue instead an “ education direct from nature .” Ampère ’ s father actualized this ideal by allowing his son to educate himself within the walls of his well-stocked library.

Augustine ( 354 – 430 ) applied the title Confessions to his autobiographical work, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau used the same title in the 18th century, initiating the chain of confessional and sometimes racy and highly self-critical, autobiographies of the Romantic era and beyond.

The Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau sent him the message: " Tell him I know no greater man on earth.

The French tradition included Rousseau, Condorcet, the Encyclopedists and the Physiocrats.

Also famous as a prose stylist, Hume pioneered the essay as a literary genre and engaged with contemporary intellectual luminaries such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Adam Smith ( who acknowledged Hume's influence on his economics and political philosophy ), James Boswell, Joseph Butler, and Thomas Reid.

Political scientist J. S. Maloy states that “ the twentieth century added Nazism and Stalinism to Jacobinism on the list of horrors for which Rousseau could be blamed.

The Kentucky Senate narrowly chose Guthrie over fellow Louisvillian Lovell H. Rousseau for a seat in the U. S. Senate in 1865.

The utopian temptation to return to the cocoon of cosmological or radical unity, however, survived even in the U. S. Whether reform was from Woodrow Wilson, or more foreign influences such as Rousseau, Hobbes, and Machiavelli, these saw division of power – and the tradition that sustained its tension – as the central societal problem of modern times, with the task of reform to remove these impediments to a restored unity.
