Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
摘要
Along with Montesquieu and Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau is one of the French authors of the 18th century who occupied a large part of the reading time of the young Alexis de Tocqueville and who influenced his thinking. In a letter to Louis de Kergorlay from 1836, Tocqueville writes to his friend that there are three people he lives with every day, namely Pascal, Montesquieu and Rousseau.
