Música e política em Jean-Jacques Rousseau: da teoria da unidade da melodia à vontade geral

Traditionally, it is texts directly linked to the themes of morals, politics and education that have most drawn the attention of commentators and scholars to the philosophy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. However, music seems to have been one of the subjects that most occupied the thoughts of the genebrine author throughout his life. Thus, musical thinking appears not only as an inspiring idea, but rather as a theoretical reference that shares the same principles that will also base his political thinking: For our author, it is the natural faculties of man, his feelings and affections that give expressiveness to music, as much as meaning to political institutions.
