Indeed, Rousseau makes much of the commonsense notion that all children are dependent. Nor is it surprising to find Rousseau, who always seems ready to preach, taking the opportunity to elaborate his claims about dependence in broad, theoretical terms. Rousseau is concerned in a very general way with the deleterious effects of dependence. The part asks: how are these effects to be measured?
