Friedlander's book provides an afterlife for the "Reveries" in modern philosophy. It constitutes an alternative to the analytic tradition's revival of Rousseau, primarily through Rawls's influential vision of the social contract. It also counters the fate of Rousseau's writings in the continental tradition, determined by and large by Derrida's deconstruction.
Friedlander's reading of the "Reveries," a work that has fascinated generations of readers, is an incomparable introduction to one of the greatest thinkers in Western culture.
