From signs to words. Notes on communication in Discourse on Inequality of Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Abstract

Much has been written about the work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, but we still do not know some content of his theoretical formulation with a view to understanding of its multiple influences on the historical construction of the contemporary world. This it can be seen in its exemplary image of modes of expression of the natural man and its transit to the verbal and written language, base of the political exercise which puts end to the state of nature and initiates the formation of civil society and culture.
