Una genesi ininterrotta. Autobiografia e pensiero in Jean-Jacques Rousseau

[Machine translation] The study of Rousseau's autobiographical writings, in particular the Confessions and Fantasies of the Solitary Walker, has two objectives: to investigate the autobiographical genre as a particular type of philosophical writing essentially tied to the questions proper to a philosophy of history and, at the same time, to offer an interpretation of Rousseau's thought in the light that emanates from his “self-writing”. In fact, it allows not only to find the traces of an uninvestigated genesis of the ideas later theorized in his philosophical writings, but also to return to innervating the concepts expressed there with tension, in a process of uninterrupted genesis.
