9780271056425 English 0271056428 In Rousseau on Education, Freedom, and Judgment, Denise Schaeffer challenges the common view of Rousseau as primarily concerned with conditioning citizens passions in order to promote republican virtue and unreflective patriotism. Schaeffer argues that, to the contrary, Rousseau s central concern is the problem of judgment and how to foster it on both the individual and political level in order to create the conditions for genuine self-rule. Offering a detailed commentary on Rousseau s major work on education, Emile, and a wide-ranging analysis of the relationship between Emile and several of Rousseau s other works, Schaeffer explores Rousseau s understanding of what good judgment is, how it is learned, and why it is central to the achievement and preservation of human freedom. The model of Rousseauian citizenship that emerges from Schaeffer s analysis is more dynamic and self-critical than is often recognized. This book demonstrates the importance of Rousseau s contribution to our understanding of the faculty of judgment, and, more broadly, invites a critical reevaluation of Rousseau s understanding of education, citizenship, and both individual and collective freedom.", Lorenzo il Magnifico de&' Medici was the head of the ruling political party at the apogee of the golden age of Quattrocento Florence. Born in 1449, his life was shaped by privilege and responsibility, and his deeds as a statesman were legendary even while he lived. At his death he was master of the largest and most famous private palace in Florence, a building crammed full of the household goods of four generations of Medici as well as the most extraordinary collections of art, antiquities, books, jewelry, coins, cameos, and rare vases in private hands. His heirs undertook an inventory of the estate, a usual procedure following the demise of an important head of family. An anonymous clerk, pen and paper in hand, walked through the palace from room to room, counting and recording the barrels of wine and the water urns; opening cabinets and chests; unfolding and examining clothes, fabrics, and tapestries; describing the paintings he saw on the walls; and unlocking jewel boxes and weighing and evaluating coins, medals, necklaces, brooches, rings, and cameos. The original document he produced has been lost, but a copy was made by another clerk in 1512. Richard Stapleford&'s critical translation of this document offers the reader a window onto the world of the Medici family, their palace, and the material culture that surrounded them., Lorenzo il Magnifico de' Medici was the head of the ruling political party at the apogee of the golden age of Quattrocento Florence.
