It is the act of lying for one's own benefit, of disguising the truth in order to mislead. For Jean-Jacques Rousseau, however, imposture is first and foremost power itself. In On Imposture, French philosopher Serge Margel explores imposture within Rousseau's Discourses, Confessions, and Emile. For Rousseau, taking power, using it, or abusing it are ultimately one and the same act. Once there's power, and someone grants themselves the means, the right, and the authority to force another's beliefs or actions, there is imposture. According to Rousseau, imposture can be found through human history, society, and culture. Using a deconstructionist method in the classic manner of Derrida, On Imposture explores Rousseau's thought concerning imposture and offers a unique analysis of its implications for politics, civil society, literature, and existentialist thought"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a "Originally published as De l'imposture." 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 600 10 $a Rousseau, Jean-Jacques, $d 1712-1778 $x Political and social views. 600 10 $a Rousseau, Jean-Jacques, $d 1712-1778 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Rousseau, Jean-Jacques, $d 1712-1778. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00030449 650 0 $a Impostors and imposture in literature. 650 7 $a Impostors and imposture in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968232 650 7 $a Political and social views. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353986 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Margel, Serge. $t On imposture $d Bloomington : Indiana University Press, 2023 $z 9780253065308 $w (DLC) 2022024188 700 1 $a Yampolsky, Eva, $e translator. 830 0 $a Studies in Continental thought. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015819.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=18035332253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
