«Discurso sobre las ciencias y las artes» is the philosophical essay by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, published by Aguilar, with 161 pages, in Spanish.
In this essay, Rousseau argues that the progress of the sciences and the arts has not improved morality, but has contributed to its deterioration: refined culture can conceal the loss of virtue and natural freedom. The work links ethics, politics and sociology, and retains interest for the current debate on technology and society.
The text was originally published in 1750; this edition belongs to the Biblioteca de Iniciación Filosófica.
A text suitable for those seeking a first approach to Rousseau's thought, as well as for readers interested in political and social philosophy.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a Genevan philosopher, philosophe, writer, and composer. His political philosophy influenced the progress of the Age of Enlightenment throughout Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the development of modern political, economic, and educational thought.
