SANTIAGO RODRIGUEZ, Gonzalo. The Roots of The Freedom Tree Hölderlin and Hegel Facing Rousseau. Eidos [online]. 2023, n.39, pp.74-101.  Epub Apr 19, 2023. ISSN 1692-8857.

Rousseau's importance for the postkantian idealism has been poorly researched. Hidden by the Kantian interpretation, the work of the Geneva thinker seems to have no relevant influence. Departing from an interpretative analysis of the literary sources and a comparison with the main doctrines, our paper aims to show, using Hölderlin and Hegel's Tubingen and the immediately subsequent works (1791-1795), that Rousseau's influence has a decisive importance to understand the artistic and religious program of our authors. This analysis will allow us to understand that Rousseau is not a philosopher, nor an enlightenment figure, but rather a wise man, the bringer of a practical doctrine whose main principle consisted in supreme human dignity and the idea of freedom interpreted as autonomy.

Keywords : Modern Philosophy; Freedom; Hegel; Hölderlin; Rousseau.
