Though constantly impressed with the breadth of their vision and the force of their rhetoric, I find the personalities of these two men-at least as manifested in their books-to be grating and unpleasant. My reaction to Rousseau is very similar to my reaction to Thoreau, whose back-to-nature ethic owed much to Rousseau’s philosophy. If all the philosophers in the world should prove that I am wrong, and you feel that I am right, that is all I ask.
