Rousseau - Mind Not the Divine

Rousseau, which nourishes the excesses of the French Revolution, and perhaps even leads to the planting of some totalitarian seeds, with his unshaken belief in the well-being of mankind in essence, is an intellectual in many places, especially in England, strangely overly concerned with its formation and reaching dangerous dimensions it was seen as a bad state.

But I started to think that he deserves more respect. In the last few seasons I looked into the roots of secular humanism, and I saw the front page of the list of white men who were not alive today. Rousseau played a crucial role in shaping the atmosphere of those days, while other thinkers found this or that flow in important contributions. In addition, from a psychological point of view, he was a fascinating person who would show the other thinkers of the age on his side with no spirits.

The need to reconcile the personal integrity of man with social belonging, the need to reconnect with the natural world, the departure from the many exaggerated absurdities we call culture today, and the importance of all kinds of originality and all that matters is the magnificent but shameful need to direct all of us, the ideas that confront our needs are closely related to the periods in which we live as much as we are in our own race.

Some of our deepest assumptions are rooted in her thinking or as if they were first spoken there. For example, the assumption is that the societies we live in are degenerate, depraved, and destructive, and we humans are, in an individual sense, clean, desperate little victims like snow. Another example is the assumption that we are all writers of our own life stories. We do not notice such patterns of thought until we are thought of by others and laid out before our eyes.

In addition, looking at Rousseau's thought can lead us to a wiser debate about religion and atheism. This should not mean that I agree with his religious beliefs, of course, because I do not agree. But looking at her thoughts helps us see where our argument is from. A god who created the world and allowed himself to be known believed in the idea with passion - but a reliance upon this revelation to come to the rational curiosity that comes to be created by God, and to the nourishment which is naturally given to us, not only in the holy book or in the tradition of the Church. He thought this natural moral prowess would develop as long as the wrong ideas and rules did not spoil it. There is an important point of overlap with the idea that we know as atheist thought, but this overlap is religious or at least a theoretical view. Perhaps looking carefully at what it means can encourage us to re-examine our own views.

If you think how lucky these children are to be the children of someone who understands the mercy of the human psyche so well, I think again: because they were all given to an orphan when they were infants.
