Rousseau's philosophy of truth



emphasis on feeling over reason
the heart over the mind
the simple over the sophisticated
the useful over the demonstrable
the personal over the systematic.
its focus is on the pursuit and acquisition of truth 
rather than on the nature of truth itself.
utility, autonomy, immediacy and simplicity in pursuit of what Rousseau called the ‘truths that pertain to the happiness of mankind’.
