Rousseau's celebrity story

Punishment of Conscience

In the Confessions of Rousseau, a famous French thinker and writer, it is recorded that when Rousseau was a child, his family was poor and he had to work as a servant in an earl's house to make a living. A maid in the count's house has a beautiful little ribbon, which is very lovely. One day, when no one was around, Rousseau took a small ribbon from the maid's bedside and ran to the courtyard to enjoy it.

Just then, a servant walked behind him, found Rousseau's little ribbon, and immediately reported it to the count. The count was furious, so he called Rousseau to his side and asked him sharply.

Rousseau was so nervous that he thought that if he admitted that he took the ribbon himself, he would be fired.

it will be even harder to find a job in the future. He stammered for a long time, and finally told a lie, saying that the ribbon was stolen by the little chef Mary Yong. With a grain of salt, the count asked Mary to come and confront him forever. On hearing this, the kind and honest little Mary Yong suddenly lost her mind, and while crying, she said, "It's not me, it's definitely not me!" But what about Rousseau? However, he bit Marion intensely and made up the so-called "story" of the incident with a nose and eyes.

This time, the count was even more annoyed and simply dismissed Lu Leng and Marion at the same time. When they left the count's house, an elder said meaningfully, "One of you must be innocent, and the liar will be punished by his conscience!" "

Sure enough, this incident brought Rousseau lifelong pain. Forty years later, he confessed in his autobiography Confessions: "This heavy burden has been on my conscience ... which made me determined to write this confession." "This cruel memory often bothers me. When I was so upset that I couldn't sleep, I saw this poor girl come to condemn my crime ..."

Tolerance story

A 22-year-old young man was holding another young man's hand on the wedding day and said to him, "I'm sorry, I don't think we will be happy together." Being immersed in happiness, he is stupefied, and he really wants to find a crack in the eyes of relatives and friends.

The whole town knew about him, and the young man decided to escape from this town, which made him feel humiliated. He vowed to return to his hometown in the future and find his lost dignity.

Sure enough, 3 years later, he has become a great writer and thinker. His works Confessions, Social Contract Theory and Emile have aroused great repercussions in Europe, and his name, Rousseau, is well-known in Europe. On the second day after returning to his hometown, an old friend asked him, "Do you remember Ariel?" Rousseau smiled and said, "Of course, she almost became my bride." "At the beginning, she brought you a great shame, and she didn't come to a good end. Over the years, she has been living in poverty and struggling with the relief of her relatives. God punished her for betraying you. " The friend said to Rousseau. My friend thought Rousseau would be happy to hear that the person who betrayed him had come to a tragic end, but Rousseau said to him, "I am very sad, and God should not punish her." I have some money here. Please give it to her. Don't tell her that I gave it, lest she think I am humiliating her and refuse. "

"Do you really have no resentment towards Ariel? At the beginning, she let you lose face. " The friend asked in a questioning tone.

"If there is resentment, it was 3 years ago. If I have been resenting her all these years, I have not lived in resentment for 3 years. What good will it do me? Just like I went to see you with a bag of dead mice, wasn't it me who smelled bad all the way? "

Rousseau's Confessions Reading Notes

Today, Rousseau's Confessions is still shocking. How many people dare to admit that they have the habit of stealing in their biographies when all kinds of accusations and insults rain down on them: "Until now, I sometimes steal some gadgets I love." How many people dare to disclose that they have lied and framed good maids when they have become famous scholars all over the country? How many men are willing to confess the most embarrassing thing-hand bad habits for the world to sneer at? Who wants to analyze their private lives-the relationship and emotional relationship with women? For a thinker who is famous all over France, how terrible will the consequences be if he voluntarily reveals his meanness? There are only two kinds of people-fools and lunatics-who rush into the sanctimonious crowd naked for their ridicule and abuse. Rousseau was in a difficult situation when he wrote Confessions. Analyst Hugh Mo said: "He seems to be a man who not only stripped off his clothes, but also stripped off his skin. In this case, he was driven out to fight against the violent storm."

Before Rousseau's Confessions, there was an influential Confessions, written by the famous godfather saint augustinus, whose frankness was far less than one tenth of Rousseau's. More importantly, the godfather's frankness is to prove that people are primitive and sinful, that people themselves are not worthy of love, and that only "God" is the only object of "enjoyment".

Rousseau's Confessions announced another completely opposite idea to Augustine: human nature is beautiful, and all human natural requirements, such as the yearning for freedom, the pursuit of the opposite sex, and the love for exquisite articles, are normal and reasonable. It is the foul social environment that "infected me with some bad habits that I hate, such as lying, laziness, stealing, and so on". When we face this unmasked mind, the first thing we see is how Rousseau grabbed a book with his father when he was a child, and even stayed up all night until he heard the swallows whispering. Isn't this thirst for knowledge the beauty of human beings? When he refused to admit that he had stolen the ribbon to save face and framed it as a maid, Mary Yong, he was tortured by his sin for 4 years until he revealed it to the world and got some conscience comfort. Isn't this spirit of repentance for mistakes the pure feeling of human pursuit of goodness? He was also captured by desire, but a lofty moral pursuit made him pay more attention to the purity, profoundness and permanence of his feelings. In his love life, especially in the seemingly strange relationship with Mrs. Warren, he has a kind of almost innocent, pure and transparent, rich and warm feelings. This kind of respect, protection, gentleness and consideration for women, like a fresh spring breeze, is very rare in the upper class full of bad habits in the 18th century. This poet, who will be moved to tears when he hums a song with a trembling voice until his old age, has always maintained a broad and deep love for the whole mankind. Confessions is a panoramic display of the inner world of an ordinary person. There are all kinds of social stains on this mirror of the mind, and it also shows the purity of the mirror itself.

This courage to reveal oneself comes from self-esteem for people. He firmly believes that human nature is good. Every individual should not be a slave at the altar of God, but a noble creature with its own value. What people should worship is not some traditional concept and moral law, but himself. Rousseau was the first person in the history of human culture to raise personal dignity and value to such a high level, announcing the birth of a new concept of life and literature. This new concept, which is completely opposite to saint augustinus, can be summarized in the words of German K P Morite (1757-1793): "Man should re-recognize that he exists for himself, and he should realize that for all people who can think, the whole exists for each individual, just as each individual exists for the whole. An individual should never be regarded as just a useful creature, but as a noble creature with its own special value. The human spirit is a self-sufficient whole. "

As we all know, the external motivation of Rousseau's writing Confessions is to answer the insults and attacks from the church, officials and enlightenment scholars (Voltaire and Diderot). Defending himself in this shocking way makes Rousseau's personality not only not derogated but become a great personality model beyond Voltaire and others. Is this unexpected result only due to amazing frankness? No! The soul-stirring power of this book lies in that when people read it, they will be pleasantly surprised to find that the most precious thing for people is themselves.
