Hallo, ik ben Finn, en ik help je dit boek te begrijpen.

Hier is het, uitgelegd alsof je 10 jaar bent:

Jean Jacques Rousseau opent met een beroemde schok: de mens wordt vrij geboren, en overal ligt hij in ketenen. Dan vraagt hij hoe mensen een eerlijke samenleving kunnen vormen en toch vrij kunnen blijven, door samen af te spreken de algemene wil te volgen. Deze editie brengt ook zijn levendige verhandelingen over de kunsten en wetenschappen en over ongelijkheid. Rousseau redeneert hartstochtelijk en spreekt zichzelf soms tegen, wat het leuk maakt om tijdens het lezen met hem te redetwisten.
