TY - ECHAP TI - Les Confessions de saint Augustin et celles de Rousseau T3 - The eighteenth century, n° 13 DO - 10.15122/isbn.978-2-8124-3834-9.p.0019 SN - 978-2-8124-3834-9 AB - Rousseau’s choice of title establishes a diptych with his medieval predecessor. The converted and enlightened Augustine is no longer firmly locked in the past. The lucidity of the present assumes a superior value. Thanks to his anthropology free from original sin, Rousseau does not consider the child he once was as qualitatively inferior : deterioration is caused by social contact. Rousseau puts the blame on society. PY - 2015 DA - 2015/08/12 DP - Classiques Garnier PB - Classiques Garnier Y2 - 2024/07/18 ER -
