Broad in scope, \u003cem\u003eRousseau and Desire\u003c\/em\u003e opens new fields of inquiry by exploring Rousseau's formulation of desire as it relates to a range of subjects, including feminist phenomenology, political theory, natural reproduction, and early modern economic thought. As a whole, this important volume of essays ultimately affirms that the place of desire in Rousseau's work is integral to our understanding of this seminal thinker and, by extension, the notion of the self in modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Blackell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442640413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442640412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Mark Blackell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453635899647,"sku":"9781442640412","price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ab2c3bcf-b674-41b8-9c1b-71cc4b4c653f.jpg?v=1777301332","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rousseau-and-desire-mark-blackell-9781442640412","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
