Jean-Jacques Rousseau (UK: /ˈruːsoʊ/, US: /ruːˈsoʊ/ French: [ʒɑ̃ ʒak ʁuso]; 28 June 1712 – 2 July 1778) was a Genevan philosopher, 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.
His Discourse on Inequality and The Social Contract are cornerstones in modern political and social thought. Rousseau's sentimental novel Julie, or the New Heloise (1761) was important to the development of preromanticism and romanticism in fiction. His Emile, or On Education (1762) is an educational treatise on the place of the individual in society. Rousseau's autobiographical writings—the posthumously published Confessions (composed in 1769), which initiated the modern autobiography, and the unfinished Reveries of the Solitary Walker (composed 1776–1778)—exemplified the late 18th-century "Age of Sensibility", and featured an increased focus on subjectivity and introspection that later characterized modern writing.
Pieter Paul Rubens (Siegen, 28 June 1577 - Antwerp, 30 May 1640) - Seneca dying (1612-1613) Dimensions 185 x 154.7 cm - Alte Pinakothek Munich
Accusato ingiustamente di tradimento dal suo stesso discepolo, l'imperatore Nerone, Seneca è costretto a suicidarsi. Immerso in acqua calda per accelerare il flusso di sangue mentre un medico amichevole apre le sue vene e uno no scrittore cerca di catturare le ultime parole del filosofo: "VIR [TUS]" (virtù). Ciò che si intende è la virtù della compostezza stoica, che esprime l'espressione morente di Seneca.
Unjustly accused of treason by his own disciple, Emperor Nero, Seneca is forced to commit suicide. Immersed in hot water to accelerate the flow of blood while a friendly doctor opens his veins and a no writer tries to capture the philosopher's last words: "VIR [TUS]" (virtue). What is meant is the virtue of stoic composure, which expresses the dying expression of Seneca.
