On the Rousseau bit, I’m perfectly willing at this point to consider and re-examination R. in the light of your Eonic Model. Coming to think of it, what modern/early modern thinker onward hasn’t been accused at one time or another of being crazy or oddball in terms of his/her intellectual theories? In point of fact, Aristotle, Confucius, etc. in their times were probably just as potentially “crazy” or viewed to be as crazy by their own generations. Maybe part of their genius was being able to frame ideas and maps of knowledge in new ways as well as to come up with material that was memorable both for their contemporary audiences as well as future ones. So consider this paragraph of mine on the matter of Rousseau as an attempt to reconsider my own previous perspective on the issue and see things in a new light.
