On the Happiness of the Philosophic Life presents Heinrich Meiers confrontation with Rousseaus Rveries, the philosophers most beautiful and daring work, as well as his last and least understood. Bringing to bear more than thirty years of study of Rousseau, Meier unfolds his stunningly original interpretation in two parts.The first part of On the Happiness of the Philosophic Life approaches the Rveries not as another autobiographical text in the tradition of the Confessions and the Dialogues, but as a reflection on the philosophic life and the distinctive happiness it provides. The second turns to a detailed analysis of a work referred to in the Rveries, the Profession of Faith of the Savoyard Vicar, which triggered Rousseaus political persecution when it was originally published as part of mile. In his examination of this most controversial of Rousseaus writings, which aims to lay the foundations for a successful nonphilosophic life, Meier brings to light the differences between natural religion as expressed by the Vicar and Rousseaus natural theology. Together, the two reciprocally illuminating parts of this study provide an indispensable guide to Rousseau and to the understanding of the nature of the philosophic life.[A] dense but precise and enthralling analysis.New Yorker
