SUMMARY:Reassessing Rousseau’s Political Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:This interdisciplinary panel will discuss Flora Champy’s recent book\, L’Antiquité politique de Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Paris: Classiques Garnier\, 2022). Studying Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s use of ancient material helps us explore several questions: how significant are examples in political writing? How important is the Early Modern regime of symbolism to foundational works of political theory? Rousseau deliberately turned traditionally educational and cultural material into tools of critical inquiry. Early on\, his interest moved away from illustrious figures to focus on the city-state as a political community. Putting forward the Roman Republic as his main political model\, Rousseau emphasized the connection between anthropology and politics\, moral education and civic activity. He also addressed a pressing issue: how can political authority retain legitimacy through the eventfulness of history? \nSpeakers\n• David Bell\, Princeton University\n• Flora Champy\, Princeton University\n• Christopher J. Kelly\, Boston College\n• Melissa Lane\, Princeton University\n• James Swenson\, Rutgers University
