“Rousseau’s Return” — Return to Reason and Engineering Politics discussion

My long-form discussion with Truman and Kevin on:

What are the major differences between Marx’s socialism and Rousseau’s socialism?

Why Rousseau is more important than Marx in today’s culture wars?

What does being an adult mean, now that we’re so rich and free?

Were the French Revolutionaries Rousseau’s disciples?

The book under discussion: Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault.

More on Rousseau’s counter-Enlightenment philosophy, in discussion with James Lindsay and Michael O’Fallon.

The Michael Rectenwald discussion, mentioned at the 3-minute mark.
