Zusammenfassung:"Taking as its point of departure the moral and monetary economy of crafsmanship in eighteenth-century Switzerland, this ... study shows how family tradition and his own unfinished apprenticeship to an engraver led Rousseau to a radical questioning of central issues of the day, particularly in light of the moral utilitarianism of his age. Rousseau's hand highlights the vital place of handwork in the artistic and social writings of his middle years -- from novels and plays to treatises and other forms of discourse -- illuminating many matters traditionally seen as inconsistencies in his oeuvre as a whole."--Jacket
