"Althusser delivered these lectures on Rousseau's Discourse on the Origins of Inequality at the ???Ecole normale sup???erieure in Paris in 1972. They are fascinating for two reasons. First, they gave rise to a new generation of Rousseau scholars, attentive not just to Rousseau's ideas, but also to those of his concepts that were buried beneath metaphors or fictional situations and characters.
