Jean Jacques Rousseau had a double relationship with the Enlightenment Movement. He was certainly one of the Enlightenment philosophers. On the other hand, Rousseau was against the Enlightenment because he rejected the tyranny of Reason and advocated the return to nature and the revival of inner feeling. Rousseau was a product of the 18th century Europe, with faith in the human dignity and intelligence was the philosophical father of the French Revolution. Its motto was to return to nature, regaining the natural rights of "liberty, equality and fraternity."
