▶He was an inhabitant of France but was born in Geneva in 1712. His father was a watch-maker who was a very licentious man. Rousseau was badly affected by the character of his father. He did not receive any education in any school regularly.
▶He tumbled through his life and suffered throughout. He travelled in countries and to cities like Geneva, London, Paris, Vienna etc., and passed an aimless life, wandering here and there with no mission in his mind.
▶He was corrupt in his, personal life. He had great insight for gambling. During his tramp's life he adopted several professions like that of a private secretary, the lace seller, musician etc., to earn his livelihood, but he did not succeed in any.
▶The economic condition of Rousseau was never satisfactory and hence the offspring's of this great intellectual had to be brought up in "orphanages. However, he influenced the contemporary society of Europe to a great extent. D' Alembert was his greatest critic, and he has written about Rousseau:
▶"He is like a horrible animal. Hence he should be kept in a cage."
▶Towards the end of his life, he wrote a book entitled Confessions and after going through it Johnson, a famous scholar, remarked:
▶"He was so bad a man that he should be hanged at the nearest tree."
▶He had all the evils that a gentleman should not possess.
▶In spite of all these evils in him, he impressed the French Revolution to a greater extent than all the philosophers put together. Napoleon the Great, accepting his significance, once remarked:
▶"Had there been no Rousseau, there would have been no revolution."
▶An eminent historian Madelin has also observed:
▶"Rousseau, of all contemporary writers, was the most discussed philosopher who created the most opposite sentiments of love and hate."
▶Rousseau heads a supreme position among all the philosophers and he influenced the society more than anybody else. Robespierre and St. Joust also regarded themselves the followers of Rousseau, Montesquieu and Voltaire made an impact upon the minds of people while Rousseau influenced their hearts.
▶He was an ardent lover of nature. His heart danced with immense pleasure to see the green fields and blue sky. He did not like inequality.
