Rousseau's Version of the Myth of the Noble Savage
Waldová, Klára ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (advisor) ; Pohorský, Aleš (referee)
The aim of my thesis is to grasp the myth of the noble savage in the work of J.J. Rousseau. Specifically, I will occupy my mind with Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among Men, in which Rousseau presents human being from its origin to the civil society, and partly I will draw from Emile, or On Education, where Rousseau presents the noble savage and applies him to forming of future generations. In this work I will try to sketch out particular components of the studied myth (mythemes) and also to define Reousseau's specific contribution to French thought and literature. In conclusion, I will try to point out how the myth of the noble savage develops in French culture.
