Abstract

[In the Dialogues, through the character of the Frenchman, Rousseau’s advised reading his works in the reverse order of publication. Emile revealed the first principles of his system—the forming of consciousness through victimization. The Discourse on Inequality built on this and moved into the world of scandal by postulating a humanity abandoned by God. Only with the Discourse on the Sciences and Arts (Discours sur les sciences et les arts, 1750) and its attendant Controversy does the depth of Rousseau’s scandal reveal itself.]
