| Sumario: | In the Discourse on Inequality, Rousseau characterizes man as a being in whom "the will speaks" even when "nature is silent" (1971a, p. 218). The aim of this work is therefore to understand the concept of will in Rousseau through qualitative historical and documentary research. To this end, this work is divided into two parts, firstly to present the reader with a synthetic picture of the history of the concept of will, and then to try to present an understanding of how Rousseau presents this faculty of the human spirit, considering his anthropological thinking. We will strive to demonstrate how the theory of the will was constituted over time and how this theoretical body pours flows into modernity, with special attention to Rousseau's philosophical thought. The will represents an articulating concept and can be understood as an important key to interpreting Rousseau's labyrinthine thinking, which ranges from his philosophy of education to his political theory. |
