Description

Os textos aqui reunidos sob o título de Escritos sobre a política e as artes compõem o que poderíamos chamar de um mosaico político-literário. Neles se delineiam as principais teorias políticas de Rousseau, formuladas de tal maneira que se entrelaçam entre o ato da elaboração conceitual e a necessidade da escrita – com todas as suas seduções e perigos. Pois, para Rousseau, a filosofia política, longe de ser uma disciplina acadêmica à parte, é, em boa medida, indissociável de uma teoria da linguagem e da expressão artística, sem as quais, em seu entender, nenhuma reflexão sobre o presente poderia ser levada a sério. Malgrado os diferentes registros e proveniências dessas peças, e apesar das variações de estilo e de tom que se encontram entre elas e às vezes dentro delas, fala sempre a mesma voz. Agitado, irrequieto, indignado, Rousseau consegue se exprimir percorrendo uma variada gama de sentimentos, adotando, para tanto, metáforas, tropos, comparações e outros recursos de deslocamento que mantém vivo o interesse do leitor; independentemente do assunto, cada um dos textos, tem, além disso, a sua história.
