Reading Reveries of the Solitary Walker | Alexandria
Read Reveries of the Solitary Walker by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Wandering along alpine paths, Rousseau's radical self-reflection birthed a paradigm shift: authentic happiness requires harmony between our natural selves and social obligations. His revelatory walks unveiled how modern life alienates us from our true nature – yet paradoxically, embracing solitude can deepen our connection to humanity.
