Rousseau's love for Madame Dupin grew intense, yet his romantic pursuits were met with indifference, showcasing the social complexities of relationships in 18th century Paris.
In his essay on the Sciences and the Arts, Rousseau provocatively challenged the notion of Enlightenment progress by arguing that it corrupts morals and exacerbates societal evils.
By serving as a secretary to Madame Dupin, Rousseau not only secured his livelihood but also began to explore radical ideas that questioned the very foundations of contemporary society.
