Moraalikirjad ; Savoia vikaari usutunnistus
Šveitsist pärit prantsuse valgustusmõtleja Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778) räägib eluajal ilmumata jäänud „Moraalikirjades” lühidalt lahti oma alususkumused. Pikemalt selgitab ta neid „Savoia vikaari usutunnistuses”, mis esialgu ilmus kasvatustraktaadi „Émile” osana, kuid on hiljem korduvalt avaldatud ka omaette väljaandena. Neis kirjatükkides väljendatud revolutsiooniliste ideede tõttu oli Rousseau sunnitud maapakku minema ja tema raamatud keelati, kuid hiljem on neil olnud märkimisväärne mõju.
Eesti keeles on Rousseault seni ilmunud peamiselt ühiskonnateaduslikke ja omaeluloolisi teoseid, kuid tema metafüüsikat, teoloogiat ja eetikat on meil suhteliselt vähe tutvustatud. „Moraalikirjade” ja „Savoia vikaari usutunnistuse” tõlge toob eesti lugeja nende Rousseau mõtlemise kesksete teemade juurde.

This important figure in the history contributed to political and moral psychology and influenced later thinkers. Own firmly negative view saw the post-hoc rationalizers of self-interest, apologists for various forms of tyranny, as playing a role in the modern alienation from natural impulse of humanity to compassion. The concern to find a way of preserving human freedom in a world of increasingly dependence for the satisfaction of their needs dominates work. This concerns a material dimension and a more important psychological dimensions. Rousseau a fact that in the modern world, humans come to derive their very sense of self from the opinions as corrosive of freedom and destructive of authenticity. In maturity, he principally explores the first political route, aimed at constructing institutions that allow for the co-existence of equal sovereign citizens in a community; the second route to achieving and protecting freedom, a project for child development and education, fosters autonomy and avoids the development of the most destructive forms of self-interest. Rousseau thinks or the possible co-existence of humans in relations of equality and freedom despite his consistent and overwhelming pessimism that humanity will escape from a dystopia of alienation, oppression, and unfreedom. In addition to contributions, Rousseau acted as a composer, a music theorist, the pioneer of modern autobiography, a novelist, and a botanist. Appreciation of the wonders of nature and his stress on the importance of emotion made Rousseau an influence on and anticipator of the romantic movement. To a very large extent, the interests and concerns that mark his work also inform these other activities, and contributions of Rousseau in ostensibly other fields often serve to illuminate his commitments and arguments.
