Publisher's Synopsis
""A Letter From Mr. Voltaire To M. Jean Jacques Rousseau"" is a written correspondence between two of the most prominent French philosophers of the 18th century, Voltaire and Rousseau. The letter was written by Voltaire in 1766, and it addresses Rousseau's book ""The Social Contract."" In his letter, Voltaire critiques Rousseau's ideas about government, society, and religion, arguing that they are impractical and unrealistic. Voltaire also takes issue with Rousseau's personal beliefs and character, accusing him of being paranoid and overly sensitive. The letter is a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and personal conflicts between two of the greatest minds of the Enlightenment era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
