Contents:

Introduction. Rousseau in a Genevan context -- The formation of a "citizen of Geneva" -- Rousseau becomes Rousseau, 1751-1754. Geneva, doux commerce, and Rousseau from the First to the Second Discourse -- Rousseau and natural law: the context -- Rousseau and natural law: the Second Discourse -- The "invisible chain": Rousseau and Geneva from the Second Discourse to the Social Contract -- The Social Contract.

Summary: Rousseau and Geneva reconstructs the main aspects of Genevan political and religious thought in the first half of the eighteenth century. In this way Dr. Rosenblatt contextualizes the development of Rousseau's thought from the First Discourse through to the Social Contract. Over time Rousseau has been adopted as a French thinker, but Dr. Rosenblatt points out that he is, in fact, a Genevan thinker and explains that it was his relationship with Geneva that played an integral part in his development into an original political thinker.
