卢梭作为启蒙时代的思想家,他一反那个时代的主流,在《论科学与艺术》这篇论文中淋漓尽致地表达了他的立场。他认为科学与艺术在腐化人的善良本性,那些本为最高贵的品格却随着时代的变化,科学文化的发展变了质,所谓的“高贵的人”只是戴了虚假面具的内心充满丑恶的行动举止恭谦有礼的文明人。但卢梭也并非倡导要回复到原始社会的时代,他知道社会的不可逆转性与进步性,所以他只是希望在科学与艺术进步之余,更应该保留内心的那份纯真抑或德性。 Rousseau as a thinker in the Enlightenment era, he opposed the mainstream of that era and vividly expressed his position in his treatise on science and art. He believes that science and art are corrupting people’s good nature, those who are the most noble character but with the changes of the times, the development of science and culture has become a qualitative change, the so-called noble man wearing the mask of the heart Civilized man full of ugly demeanor. Rousseau, on the other hand, did not advocate the return to the era of primitive society. Rousseau knew the irreversibility and progress of society. Therefore, he just hoped that, in addition to the progress in science and the arts, Rousseau would have to retain his innocence or virtue.
