A person with divided loyalties (id est, to both himself and his cohorts) was, in Rousseau's thinking, a divided person. According to John Warner's Rousseau and the Problem of Human Relations, not only did Rousseau never solve this problem, he believed it was fundamentally unsolvable: social relationships could never restore wholeness to a self-interested human being. Warner traces his argument through the contours of Rousseau's thought on three distinct types of relationships--sexual love, friendship, and civil or political association. Warner concludes that none of these, whether examined individually or together, provides a satisfactory resolution to the problem of human dividedness located at the center of Rousseau's thinking. In fact, concludes Warner, Rousseau's failure to obtain anything hopeful from human associations is deliberate, self-conscious, and revelatory of a tragic conception of human relations. Thus Rousseau raises our hopes only to dash them. 600 10 Rousseau, Jean-Jacques,|d1712-1778. 600 10 Rousseau, Jean-Jacques,|d1712-1778|xPolitical and social views. 600 17 Rousseau, Jean-Jacques,|d1712-1778.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00030449 650 0 Interpersonal relations. 650 7 PHILOSOPHY|xHistory & Surveys|xModern.|2bisacsh 650 7 Interpersonal relations.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00977397 650 7 Political and social views.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01353986 650 7 PHILOSOPHY / Political.|2bisacsh 776 08 |iPrint version:|aWarner, John M.
