In this session, we’ll examine Rousseau’s provocative argument that society corrupts our natural goodness, and that our sense of self — even our desires — are shaped by others. How should we live together without becoming inauthentic? And what kind of education, or politics, might restore our lost freedom?Suggested Reading: Discourse on the Origin of Inequality (Preface + Part One) by Jean-Jacques Rousseau - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/kendal/rousseau-freedom-society-and-the-corruption-of-man/100001509018728639 - **Event Categories**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 13.5, max: 22.5, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Kendal - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Stricklandgate House - **lat**: 54.3296432 - **long**: -2.7473992 - **full address**: Stricklandgate House, 92 Stricklandgate, Kendal, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Rousseau: Freedom, Society, and the Corruption of Man - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/96001d26a45228cfad335323cbf643bc338055bbb1530a55a1d21e2029cdb9f9-rimg-w1200-h675-dc484138-gmir.jpg?v=1760439144 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Rousseau: Freedom, Society, and the Corruption of Man being held? - **A:** Rousseau: Freedom, Society, and the Corruption of Man takes place on Fri, 19 Jun, 2026 at 02:00 pm to Fri, 19 Jun, 2026 at 04:00 pm at Stricklandgate House, 92 Stricklandgate, Kendal, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Rousseau: Freedom, Society, and the Corruption of Man? - **A:** Ticket prices for Rousseau: Freedom, Society, and the Corruption of Man range from GBP 14 to GBP 23 depending on the ticket type.
