Rousseau, whistleblower

This audiovisual journey immerses visitors in the life and work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, born out of the conviction that Rousseau’s work (1712-1778) still has the power to provoke us today, like few others. Rousseau, who claimed to prefer being a man of paradoxes rather than a man of prejudices, is not treated here as a static monument of the past. Through 7 thematic niches, the Trail confronts the philosopher’s paradoxes, inviting us to question our present, which he seemed to anticipate.
