We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Adam Smith: A Philosophical Encounter" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Adam Smith are giants of eighteenth century thought. The heated controversy provoked by their competing visions of human nature and society still resonates today. Smith himself reviewed Rousseaus Discourse on Inequality, and his perceptive remarks raise an intriguing question: what would a conversation between these two great thinkers look like?In this outstanding book Charles Griswold analyses, compares and evaluates some of the key ways in which Rousseau and Smith address what could be termed the question of the self. Both thinkers discuss what we are by nature (in particular, whether we are sociable or not), who we have become, whether we can know ourselves or each other, how best to articulate the human condition, what it would mean to be free, and whether there is anything that can be done to remedy our deeply imperfect condition. In the course of examining their rich and contrasting views, Griswold puts Rousseau and Smith in dialogue by imagining what they might say in reply to one another. Griswolds wide-ranging exploration includes discussion of issues such as narcissism, self-falsification, sympathy, the scope of philosophy, and the relation between liberty, religion and civic order.A superb exploration of two major philosophers, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Adam Smith: A Philosophical Encounter is essential reading for students and scholars of these two figures, eighteenth century philosophy, the Enlightenment, moral philosophy, the history of ideas. It will also be of interest to those in related disciplines such as political theory, economics, and religion.

Titles in the secondary literature are shortened throughout this study; full references will be found in the Bibliography. The quotation from Rousseau on the epigraph page to this volume is from the third of the Moral Letters and will be found in CW XII, 183/ OC IV,1092. The quotation from Smith on the epigraph page is from IA I.17, EPS , 186.

Interpreters of eighteenth-century thought face a sometimes delicate problem with regard to the use of gendered terms, given the usage in that period. For a helpful discussion of the problem, see Neuhouser, Rousseaus Theodicy of Self-love , 246. While I have generally sought gender-neutral terms when discussing the views of Rousseau and Smith, I have also tried to avoid anachronism and distortion of their texts as well as cumbersome prose.
