Book Description
The year was 2007 the Democratic and Republican National Committees had, after a great deal of behind the scenes negotiations and arm twisting, come to terms on the selection of their candidates for the office of the President of the United States. For the Parties a great deal was at stake. To the victor would go the spoils; and in America the spoils were unimaginably great. Campaign money was abundantly available, thrown about like water by the lobbyists for the special interest groups. Though each Party talked up what they stood for, and would spend hundreds of millions of dollars to convince the voters of this, the voters found no matter which Party was victorious little changed, all the campaign rhetoric seemingly forgotten. All the while America's greatness continued to slide downward, much in the way all past great empires had. Now faced with a serious downturn in the economy a growing level of dissent and restlessness was in the air, as an ever greater number of people were having difficulty getting by.

Book Description
The Life of Wisdom in Rousseau's "Reveries of the Solitary Walker" is the first complete exegesis and interpretation of Rousseau's final and culminating work, showing its full philosophic and moral teaching. The Reveries has been celebrated as a work of literature that is an acknowledged acme of French prose writing. Thomas L. Pangle argues that this aesthetic appreciation necessitates an in-depth interpretation of the writing's complex and multileveled intended teaching about the normatively best way of life—and how essential this is for a work that was initially bewildering. Rousseau stands out among modern political philosophers in that he restored, to political philosophy, what Socrates and his students (from Plato and Xenophon through Aristotle and the Stoics and Cicero) had made central—and that the previous modern, Enlightenment philosophers had eclipsed: the study of the life and soul of the exemplary, independent sage, as possessor of "human wisdom." Rousseau made this again the supreme theme and source of norms for political philosophy and for humanity's moral as well as civic existence. In his analysis of The Reveries, Pangle uncovers Rousseau's most profound exploration and articulation of his own life, personality, soul, and thought as "the man of nature enlightened by reason." He describes, in Rousseau's final work, the fullest embodiment of the experiential wisdom from which flows and to which points Rousseau's political and moral philosophy, his theology, and his musical and literary art.
