“L’Amour Propre” Explains Rousseau Through Nudity

[jwplayer id="7183616"]

In his "Discourse on the Origin of Inequality," Rousseau states that amour-propre is a form of self love that makes it impossible for humans to be happy in society because of concern over how others view them. Now add tits...

Doesn't it make more sense with tits? See, the man in this scene cannot be happy with the young woman undressing against his chest because he's concerned with the camera that watches them both. The urge to posture is preventing him from expressing his animal urges, indulging the genuine self love that prods him towards sex. If only we had found this clip back when we were taking philosophy classes in college; would've been an easy A.
