Born July 28th 1712 in Genve (Geneva) Jean-Jacques Rousseau became one of the most outstanding philosophers of the Sicle des Lumires - the age of Enlightenment in Europe. His thoughts on society, morals, education, music (yes, he was also a composer!) and our world in general have inspired generations and are still valid today! Kudos to this extraordinary gentleman!
