Extract

Perfection and Disharmony in the Thought of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Jonathan Marks, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2005, pp. viii, 191.

This is a thoughtful and ambitious book that seeks to challenge standard schools in the interpretation of Rousseau, while at the same time arguing for the importance of new attention to Rousseau to address questions concerning the defects of liberalism. It is well written and well argued, even if not fully convincing, and deserves the attention of serious Rousseau scholars.
