Jean-Jacques Rousseau was, arguably, the most original, profound, and creative writer of the 18th century, but also the most controversial, and his work continues to divide opinion to this day. His political philosophy influenced the Enlightenment in France and across Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the overall development of modern political and educational thought. His most significant works include his autobiographical writings entitled Confessions and The Social Contract, a text often regarded as a cornerstone in modern political and social thought.
