Summary/Abstract: It is certain that the issue of recognition and the ideologically simplified Enlightenment mainstream are clearly in conflict. This conflict also played a decisive role in the notorious controversy between Rousseau and Voltaire. Nevertheless, we do not focus on this contradiction, although the ideologically simplified Enlightenment demonstrably avoids any thematization of the problem of recognition. // We are reconstructing here a Rousseau, who was a philosopher of recognition. This means that the problematic of recognition is, in a global way, behind any really relevant philosophical approach of Rousseau.
