Rousseau ne voulait pas qu'un portrait de lui figure en tête de ses Œuvres. Son vrai portrait, le seul qui ne mentirait pas, c'est en lisant ses Confessions qu'on l'aurait sous les yeux : "Je veux montrer à mes semblables un homme dans toute la vérité de la nature ; et cet homme, ce sera moi." Mais quelle identité assigner à ce moi qui déclare : "Je suis autre" ? Autre que tous les autres, et pourtant leur semblable. Perpétuellement autre que soi, et pourtant toujours même. "Bizarre et singulier assemblage" d'identifications multiples où Narcisse et Caton, Alceste et Céladon, Mentor et le petit Jésus, Socrate et la cigale, Orphée et la fourmi, le rat des villes, celui des champs, le berger extravagant, l'agneau immaculé et le bouc émissaire tiennent tour à tour le devant de la scène, sans nuire pour autant à l'unité d'action, "tant tout se tient, tout est un dans mon caractère". Au lecteur d'en juger.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a major Genevois philosopher, writer, and composer of 18th-century Romanticism. His political philosophy influenced the French Revolution and the development of modern political, sociological and educational thought. His novel, *Emile: or, On Education*, which he considered his most important work, is a seminal treatise on the education of the whole person for citizenship. His sentimental novel, Julie, ou la nouvelle Héloïse, was of great importance to the development of pre-Romanticism and romanticism in fiction. Rousseau's autobiographical writings: his *Confessions*, which initiated the modern autobiography, and his *Reveries of a Solitary Walker* were among the pre-eminent examples of the late 18th-century movement known as the "Age of Sensibility", featuring an increasing focus on subjectivity and introspection that has characterized the modern age. Rousseau also made important contributions to music as a theorist. During the period of the French Revolution, Rousseau was the most popular of the philosophers among members of the Jacobin Club. He was interred as a national hero in the Panthéon in Paris, in 1794, 16 years after his death.<sup>[1][1]</sup> [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Jacques_Rousseau
