That Rousseau's autobiographical and literary writings reveal a lament and rebellion against time is not a new insight but we will extend this line of inquiry into Rousseau's theoretical political work. There woven in more subtle threads, we find the same unifying priority: an attempt to defeat time and to grant man—either in the immediacy of the moment of self-alienation or in the pure abstractness of the General Will— eternality.99 leaves ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
