Abstract

To study Rousseau´s ideas on his anthropological conception, firstly, I will analyze Montaigne's essay entitled "From the inequality between us". Montaigne is an important reference. Rousseau was a reader of the said Genevan essayist and nurtured intellectually from that source to develop its ideas on human nature. Secondly, I will point out the problem with the aforementioned thinker in the Discourse on the Arts and Sciences and, thirdly show that in the Discourse on Inequality is where Rousseau develops and builds the proposal stated in the Discourse on the arts and sciences.
