Explanation:

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a French-speaking Swiss polymath. He was at the same time a writer, pedagogue, philosopher, musician, botanist and naturalist, and although he was defined as an enlightened one, he presented deep contradictions that separated him from the main representatives of the Enlightenment, winning for example Voltaire's fierce spite and being considered one of the first writers of pre-Romanticism.

His ideas printed a Copernican turn to pedagogy focusing on the natural evolution of the child and on direct and practical matters, and his political ideas influenced to a large extent the French Revolution and the development of republican theories, although it is also considered one of the precursors of totalitarianism; It incorporated to the political philosophy incipient concepts like the one of general will (that Kant would transform in its categorical imperative) and alienation. His legacy of radical and revolutionary thinker is probably best expressed in his two most famous sentences, one contained in The Social Contract, "Man is born free, but everywhere is chained," the other, present in his Emile, or education, "Man is good by nature."
