The Reveries of the Solitary Walker cover

First published posthumously in 1782 from an unfinished manuscript, The Reveries of the Solitary Walker continues Rousseau's exploration of the soul in the form of a final meditation on self-understanding and isolation. This accurate and graceful translation by Charles Butterworth--the only English version based on Rousseau's original text--is accompanied by an interpretive essay, extensive notes, and a comprehensive index.

. . . a scholarly English translation of high quality . . . prepared by a translator thoroughly grounded both in the tradition of Western philosophy and in the thought of Rousseau. --Review of Metaphysics
