> Rousseau was Swiss
No - Rousseau was born in the Republic of Geneva in 1712. Geneva only became part of Switzerland in 1815 (after a Napoleonic interlude since 1798).
- gumby 4y agoThank you for this comment. It's just the perfect kind of pedantry: correct, yet pointless, and taught me something I didn't know but could probably have figured out if properly asked (i.e. one of those things that when you read it you think, "oh, of course!"). Hn needs to increase the number of such comments.
