The Ideal Of Freedom And Biography Life

In the eighteenth century there are so many enlightenment thinkers and Rousseau is the most concerned and controversial.There has been lots of research about Rousseau’s thought at home and abroad and every aspect is very in-depth. However, the symbolic identity research is rare.The author believes that Rousseau’s identity is inextricably linked to his ideology. On one hand, the identity research is beneficial to see Rousseau’s important role and status in the enlightenment and the French Revolution. On the other hand, it is also beneficial to reduct and understand the true Rousseau in the history through the controversial imagery. What’s more, Rousseau had been extending his "inside",which opened the ethnographic research paradigm.According to Levi-Strauss’s point of view," Rousseau put forward the study of the most distant man. At the same time, he dedicated himself to the one that seemed the most close, special individual research--his own". The Rousseau identity research not only broadens the space of the research on Rousseau thought, but also provides very good model and draw lessons from a meaning for human research themselves.the penman tries to extract this concept "Rousseau’s symbolic identity" through two different understanding of Rousseau’s identity in the history and carries on the explanation. the author interpretates Rousseau gradually and uses specific material codes as the basis, such as Rousseau’s portrait, Rousseau’s body, Rousseau’s clothing and Rousseau’s residence. In the process of interpretation, the penman do some deep analysis in view of the different meanings these symbols show and linking to the previous research results. From the research, we find in life Rousseau alienates his own body consciously to form an object of individual. Therefore, we find Rousseau’s inner separation is not only repressed and hurt by the so-called society, and to some extent it is a kind of intentional.Through manipulating these physical symbols, Rousseau held high the banner of the ideal and waged an unyielding struggle against the inequality society.Therefore, Rousseau’s body becomes the struggle of the field. The struggle for his body to Rousseau for a large extent is the struggle for discourse right. Rousseau’s body has become into the powerful weapon of Rousseau’s thought. the penman tries to restore historical truth, place Rousseau in the historical context and analysis the mentality and fate as small people and the sharp and deep as intellectuals.Rousseau is immortal. His split personality in the final analysis is a social cause. In the lead to his tragic way, he imperceptibly becomes evil accomplices. Also because of this, Rousseau’s tragedy is a human tragedy, and everyone’s tragedy. The destroying of Rousseau’s life and the loyal faith will guide people to the soul reflections and get the purification of mind. Therefore, the significance and value of the research of the identity of Rousseau symbolic would surely be further recognized and played.
