For Rousseau 'consecrating one's life to the truth' meant taking responsibility for what one publishes. Christopher Kelly argues that this commitment is central to understanding the relationship between Rousseau's writings and his political philosophy.

Trade Review
"A wide-ranging and thoughtful study of Rousseau as an author who deeply considered the responsibilities of authorship. Kelly's study covers Rousseau's entire corpus with impressive familiarity and insight, offering fresh looks at the thinker's most famous philosophical works and novels, as well as explorations of the very nooks and crannies of his vast oeuvre." - John T. Scott, University of California, Davis
