Discorso sulle scienze e le arti
Book • 1750
Written in 1750, this work was Rousseau's response to a question posed by the Academy of Dijon: whether the restoration of the sciences and the arts had contributed to refining moral practices.
Rousseau argues that these advancements have led to the corruption of society, labeling them as 'ornamenti superflui' that mask true unhappiness.
He criticizes the sciences for their origins in vices and their role in creating social inequalities, and he contrasts the natural, uncorrupted state of man with the corrupting influence of civilization and culture.
