This article analyses Mme de Staël's ideas on liberty as they were expressed in Lettres sur les ouvrages et le caractère de J.-J. Rousseau of 1788-1789. Lettres sur les ouvrages et le caractère de J.-J. Rousseau was a reaction to highly polemical debates on liberty that originated in the discourse on natural sociability and that existed in the Parisian salon society between the 1770s and 1780s. Staël combined the two opposing philosophical and economic viewpoints, by the philosophes and Rousseau on the one hand and by Necker and the economists on the other, into a set of liberal values applicable to a new political era despite some self-contradictions. As such, Staël sustained the intellectual legacy of the French enlightenment into revolutionary France. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
