The life and the ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), the volatile, tormented and quarrelsome genius whose theories influenced the concept of Modern Democracy. by JOHN HOPE MASON with Timothy West as Rousseau ' Man is born free, and every. where he is in chains. He who thinks himself the master of others is in fact a greater slave than they.... Our most sublime faculties are only developed in mutual association. Each individual must come to feel himself part of a much greater whole, from which he will then receive, in some way, his life and being.... It is strength and liberty that makes excellent men ... You are poor as long as you want more. The feeling of existence is in itself a precious feeling of contentment and peace; enough to make this life sweet and dear.'
Music from the compositions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau Directed by JOHN THEOCHARIS
