Introduction by David Woottoon: Good!
The First Discourse: The work that made Rousseau “viral” overnight. It reads like an old man raving against the corrupting influences of “progress.” I didn’t like the rhetoric flourish - just answer the damn question man! My main takeaway is that the young Rousseau is trying to find the balance between genuine virtue and the vice of the enlightenment.
