Rousseau is one of the most renowned and respected thinkers of three some odd centuries ago. That the basis for some of his philosophizing is today outdated, making his argument and his conclusions seem almost ridiculous is obvious just by reading the first few pages of this brief essay. Statements and claims about the understanding Europeans had of the "noble savage" are, by today's understanding, ridiculous, formed by an imperfect examination of Native Americans and a totally mistaken representation of their culture and government.
