{"product_id":"9781399521154","title":"Rousseau's Politics of Taste by Jared Holley","description":"Rousseau's Politics of Taste challenges the popular but partial pictures we have of Rousseau as an inconsistent `ancient' utopian or a `modern' abstract philosopher with a systematising spirit. Combining intellectual history and political theory, it reinterprets his understandings of pleasure and happiness, judgment and amour-propre, inequality, the general will and, above all, taste. Rousseau's readers have long recognised the complex tensions in his thought. By reconstructing his theory of taste as a kind of modern Epicureanism, this book provides a way of articulating neglected patterns in those tensions and, a new understanding of what he was attempting to achieve with his political thought.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312270553461,"sku":"9781399521154","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781399521154.jpg?v=1762821282","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781399521154","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
