Rousseau

Rousseau, for his part, likely learned to read from his Calvinist father in the Protestant city-state of Geneva.

He had read Rousseau, Voltaire, and other thinkers in French society.

Rousseau maintained that humans are peaceful in their natural state; wars result from the corrupting influences of civilization.

The intellectual descendants of Hobbes and Rousseau tend to regard government as either a cure for or a cause of violence.

From suspicion, or merely to study his guest, Rousseau was on the lookout, and he followed the youth up the street.

Chance ruled that Andrea's gaze, idle as it was from her sitting still to have her hair brushed, fell on Rousseau's attic.

Neither the movement nor its cause escaped Rousseau, who saw that his employee trembled to be seen.

While Gilbert leaned up against the doorjamb with emotion, Rousseau took a last peep out of the window.
